Texas Hunt Co. Not a classic culling belt but very tough and useful. Most hunters seem to slide on two belt slides-I think five cartridges to a slide. Tom ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

I use a Trader Keith culling belt if I anticipate much shooting. I also have a good zip-up pouch from Texas Hunt Co. | |||

I had Andy's leather.com. Make a pair of culling belts for me. They were the first he had made but they were both good and each a different design. He specializes in Ching slings and butt cuffs. | |||

I bought a canvas and leather one at DSC from Galco, under $90 as I recall. I believe it is new to their line. BUTCH C'est Tout Bon (It is all good) | |||

I've got a leather one from Murray leather and a canvas one from Cabela's. In a humid climate I like the canvas one a bit better. | |||

The culling belts by Trader Keith are very nice, but they're made in Italy and they sell quick. Stopped by yesterday and he was out of all calibers except the .500. Plus, they only work for rimmed cartridges. .458, .375 and the like may slip right through. | |||

Richard Hill made the best culling belt rig I have ever seen...Super nice! I bought the Texas Hunt co PH belt...I like it pretty well. Ed DRSS Member | |||

Bwanna, that puzzles me, because my canvas culling belt, from Trader Keith, has closed-bottom loops, and I use it quite happily with .450/.400 3" NE, .416 Rigby, .458WM and .500NE - that is, the one culling belt for those calibres. I also prefer canvas in the humidity. | |||

five rounds on a slide and 2-4 rounds in a rifle seems to me to be about all anyone would ever need( i think big game culling is a long gone thing of the past). unless of course you are going for the Stuart Granger great white hunter look. if you need more than 7-9 rounds to kill an elephant( plus of course whatever the PH is throwing at him), something has gone seriously wrong...

Having the extra rounds, my old first Sargent use to say "it's better to have and need not, then need and not have" besides, it's just a Africa thing, having a belt full of rounds.

BennKK - yes the canvas one has loops that are closed on the bottom. They are nice and work for both nitro and regular calibers. | |||

Alaskaman11: I don't rightly know, sorry. By deduction, and possibly wrong due to never having so much as seen a 9.3x74mm cartridge, knowing that the round is similar to .375H&H, and knowing that is the parent case to the .458WM that does fit, I would say it likely would fit. Well, that's my convoluted guess. Most of the time I have no need for my twenty round culling belt - but now and then we manage to get ourselves into a right bomb-up with a mob of fence-wreckers. | |||

Here is the Texas Hunt Co. 10 round design, the difference is that you can grab pairs of bullets if need be! I carry 14 rounds 10 in belt, 2 in double, and 1 in left and right pocket (solids) trackers have 10 more in pak.  | |||

Well ... sometimes something goes seriously wrong; that or a buffalo just gets his adrenalin up and it takes an excessive number of rounds to put him down. I carry two 6 round slides + 2 in the rifle. | |||

The 9.3X74R cartridge is significantly slimmer than the 375H&H case. Any non-elastic loop that will fit the .458WM is likely to be too large in diameter to hold the 9.3 securely. | |||

Got it. Cheers, Todd. I just had a look on Trader Keith's website, and in place of the culling belt that I have, it says that a new product is coming. I wonder what it will be like. | |||

Take a look at the one Westley Richards sells. I have one and really like it. It holds 20 rds but you don't need to use all of them if you don't need them. It is open bottomed canvas and is very wide which makes it very comfortable to wear. When I wore extra rounds on my pants belt, I couldn't wait to take them off. Wit the WR belt, I often forget I have it on. The down side is that since it is so wide it is difficult to hang anything else on it. 465H&H | |||

This one isn't quite as classy as the leather ones posted above, but it worked really well and holds a lot of rounds.

Sir, I checked out Cabela's website but could not seem to find the canvas one. Could I trouble you with the Cabela's catalogue number, please? Thank you. Jess | |||

I talked to guys at galco, there is not customization on theirs. I asked to get one for my son, he will be shooting a 7x57 and he wants one. Also, I'm not sure I can fit 9.3x74 and get them to hold.
