I would like to find a leather cartridge belt for 577 3"-I have been on westley richards site but all I can find there are the canvas ones.

Try Murray Leather, very high quality. www.murraycustomleather.com

Another vote for Murray if you want top quality. I have a few from Jeff's Outfitters, but the quality isn't anywhere near what Murray delivers. Galco makes one as well, but I don't think it will handle the 577.

Not to be contrary, but I have 3 or 4 Murray carriers and they are second rate. The leather is medium to thin. The stitching is ok, but not great. Maybe you guys bought yours before someone started looking into improving Murray's profit margin.

I don't want leather for my cartridges so I make my own by sewing two Cabaellas black streatch belts together and sewing the bottom loops shut then cutting off both ends of the lower belt...works great for any caliber...Cost about $12.00.....no green stuff collects on the cartridges as it does in leather, belt doesn't ride up when you reach pull a cartridge out; The cartridges stay in place as you walk even with a loose belt...

Webbing belts (culling belts) streatch constantly and rounds work up and out and you will loose ammo while hunting..You can soad them and let them dry and they work for a day or two, but this is a pain...

Based on lots of hunting over the years, the Cabellas concoction is the only one that has ever satisfied me...

If interrested, email me and I'll send you a picture.

Africase will build anything you want. 577 is no problem

Ray we must have been brothers in a past life( scary thought isn't it).I ordered a .470 20 round belt carrier in leather two years ago and it turned all my cartridges geen as it did yours. While snooping around Cabeleas in Hamburg, Pa. i happened upon those black cartridge carriers called "shell belts" so i bought two.These i did not have to cut and .470's fit with no slippage. If i get one good hunt out of them they paid for them selfs. Note: If you sling them around each sholder and have a few hand guns stuck in you belt,add a sombrero you will look like Poncho Villa

Yeah, I quit leather the first time I tried to pick a round out and the belt pulled up to my armpit, and I had to do the ST. Vitas dance to out dance a big old dagga boy dragging his hind end around at what seemed to be 105 miles an hour, but probably not...when the leather broke in some years later all the rounds crawled up and jumped out of the belt and ran and hid in pig holes I think, but they all had good camoflage and were hard to find as they were covered with vertagre or some such moniker...If you put it on tight enough to hold at the waistr, it cut off the blood circulation to your lower body and you became impotent for a period of several years and your toenail sluffed off....LEATHER? Sometimes I wonder how much folks have actually hunted..But leather is much loved and appreciated by the bunch for lunch at SCI, its the in thing...

All in fun guys!

westley richards will build anything you need i have a westley richards 700 nitro express ammo belt and i had a westley richards 577 nitro ammo belt both leather 15 round belts.

Ray, i did have a 10 round slide-on made from buff hide that did not turn brass green and the catridges came out silicker than a greased up pig. I do believe it was lined with some other leather, but it rotted away and the dog had fun with it for 10 seconds of so. I have a friend who does pistol holsters in a new type of thermo plastic. He told me to bring some rounds up and he will make a side-on to see how it works. Ill let you know when i get it and try it out when it's wet, muddy and cold. Charlie

Saeed uses a Nylon belt simular to mine but he has Nylon slide cartridge loops...It is very practical...but I don't know where he gets them....

I make my own leather...

there;s just a little bitty easy hint for using any cart.holder...

Just like using a door knob...

TWIST first, then pull...

don't matter if it's nylon, leather, or a wooden door, if you turn the knob, it'll open easier

The Cabela's/Boyt, 15rd. cartridge belt will take the 577, it will even take 600 Nitro.(it is tight though)

I have two of those Hog Killer they work fine but they turn your brass green Someone told me years ago when i inquried on why brass turns green now and didn't in the past,that they use cromium or something like that now in the tanning process. It basicly a chemical ration between the two. Charlie

Charles, the belt I am refering to is canvas. It will not turn brass green.

Thanks lad. Canas is great, but holds water longer than the synthetics do. If you are in a wet enviorment you rounds never get a chance to dy out. I take two synthetic ones along if the first on is wet i use the other one and so on. Actualy unless we are culling the herd of Montana dik-dik's i never could see carrying more than 10 rounds afield. I use them to pack with and transfer the rounds i want that day into a ten round belt slide. Charlie
