SniperGood looking stuff. A local leather shops makes some for me but I keep mine to 7 rounds so not carrying 10 pounds of ammo on my belt.

NakihunterThanks Mate.
I have emailed him as per your suggestion.
I found this (for smaller case) which was interesting - 2 round together -

Naki,
Perhaps the 416 holder will fit the 470s?
Naki, my recommendation is to get Les to do one with 8 rounds and stitch between each loop or when you remove one they will loosen up and fall out.
That is what I use with good results

Cartridge belts made from elephant hide, need to be stamped "MADE IN THE USA" to avoid some of the tree-hugger customs agents confiscating them.

Les is busy with pheasant season. He runs the shoots along with the owner of the property / hunt.
Les goes home to the computer & shop on the odd day. He will not be able to do my slips for another month.
Cheers

Use Enough GunHi: MacD37: They are stamped: Wear's, Laramie, Wyoming.
That particular belt is rhino, not elephant.
, but they're all stamped nonetheless.

Bill73I have a canvas & leather culling belt,back when I bought it? maybe it was around $40,after several years of use it is still indestructible,it is also very comfortable to wear,I gave away all my other fancy leather stuff,just was not as practical in the field as this belt is,I believe Trader Keith has already been mentioned.
