I have a 500NE and am booking a trip to Africa. Just wondering what the take is an the best ammo belt is and who makes it. I've approached a saddle maker who is very willing to make one, he does very nice western holsters and ammo belts. How many rounds is the norm or preferred? Should it be a belt slide on or a one piece belt. Is elastic and leather a better option? Any pointers on this subject would be appreciated. | ||

Both of the ones listed are very nice, particularly Dick Murray's. Another would be the culling belt sold by Trader Keith's. http://www.traderkeith.com/products.html Mike | |||

I have the Jeff's Outfitters belts in several calibers. Nice, and priced right as well. They're usually on sale....like $39.95 or something. | |||

Texas Huntco has a nice elastic one I used. The leather on leather squeaks when wet. | |||

Buy a vest, that way you have ten rounds evenly balanced five to a side. You can stick softs on one side solids on the other. Rich | |||

Take a look at Trader Keith's double rifle belts. Same ones that Tony Makris of Under Wild Skies uses. Great belts! | |||

Didnt know they made a vest. Do you have a link? My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

I use the Dick Murray leather belt with elastic. They are top quality and the elastic loops allow to use the same belt with different guns/calibers. ND Stephen Grant 500BPE Joseph Harkom 450BPE | |||

Snowwolfe, I bought a green one from the Gander Mtn booth at Reno. Saturday at closing they were 50% off. $29.95 out the door. Rich | |||

IMO, You should have at least 12 if not 14 solid rounds at close reach with 2 or so softs seperated form the solids (particuly for Ele or Buff hunts). Trader Kieth make a great canvas bullet belt and Galco and Dick Murray make good leather pouches. Trader Kieths "Double Duty" is a superb way to carry a pair of soft rounds that wont get mixed up with solids. | |||

Boyt harness makes a canvas belt that Cabelas sells. It's less than $30. The quality is good. | |||

http://www.texashuntco.com/Pro...ails.asp?ProductID=6 http://www.texashuntco.com/Categories.asp?CatID=4 These work great with .500 NE. We've been using them extensively and have numerous PHs using the systems....Admittedly not a "traditional" look / approach, but are superior in performance and durability over canvas and leather. Thanks for looking... JW | |||

I thank you all for the input; have looked over several options but opted for a custom made 12 round leather belt with a 2" double buckle and lined with soft leather. Being as my rifle has a quick detachable swarovski scope, they are also going to make a holster (with leg band if needed) for my left side belt - detachable of course. | |||

I like Jeff Wemmers Ammo Master. ww.texashuntco.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=5 I like the strap that you wrap around your leg to keep the unit in place when you are trying to remove ammo in a hurry.

Snowwolfe, I bought mine at SCI Reno from Gander Mtn. Cloth sleeveless vest, green or khaki. I'd model it here for you but we have children viewing some of these posts. Rich | |||
