cal30 1906Looking for a cartridge belt for .357
Guys I figured I try here first to see if someone has a cartridge belt laying around taking up space.
I need a large or extra large that will hold. 38/357 cartridges. Hunter Triple k or similar.

georgeldQuite a few years ago I made a "hunting belt rig"
Re: Holster, knife, & saw scabbards and shell loops.
My first one had leather shell loops that rotted over the years.
This time I cut the belt and installed the buckle and the strap/? loose end whatever it's called.
Hired a saddle maker leather shop to sew the loops on using the elastic strap material the boot makers use for pull up loops. I gave him a handful of .30 carbine and .45 Colt ammo to use to "make them tight enough to hold these, yet open enough to still fit in .45 Colt shells. It came out perfect and is at least 25 years old now and still fine, stretchy too.
Midway catalog from years ago has several listed at then fairly priced.
Best wishes, hope you can find what you're looking for. IF not, maybe this info would help have one made.

cal30 1906Heck I figured someone here would have one laying around that lost interest in the cowboy shooting hobby.
