We went back to the drawing board and made this version.Now I like it!

Very nice.
Cal
PS. I was tempted to say it was garbage. But, if I did, I would be a low life scum sucking piece of human shit and we don't need any of those on AR and the fine company herein.

Thanks Cal.
The under side of this leather is supposed to keep one cooler or trap less heat than the other belt.

Other than color matching's not your friend, looks ok..

Vast improvement. Perhaps there is hope. Good luck!

I don't know of the technical details. Just from what I see it looks damn nice.
I actually like the fact the colors don't match. The offset compliments each other's highlights.

The guy who made the belt is beer drinking Joe Bailey.He is one of my beer clients.Joe lives just down the road.Joe was a rodeo guy.He loves horses-he owns some.When I picked up my belt we had a beer and he showed me his horses and his version of a trophy room.He has a cool small leather shop next to his home.

Never remember seeing any updates. How good is that Searcy been shooting?

I have not shot it since I posted the last target a while back.I am taking a break from the recoil of all shooting.

Serious question, really, but why 13 rounds and no stop at 12 or go to 14 so you have a even number of reloads?

Sorry, duplicate post.

He told me that he miss counted.

Nice belt btw

May I ask the cost of the belt? I may be interested in one or more in .600, .577, .500 etc…

I trust you keep the ammo bit around your back or to the left. There is no better way to mark your buttstock than scratch it against cartridge rims in a belt.

good point, thats the reason i went to 10 round max in my belts,. wearing mine "in front " with 10 cases is ok, anymore and i think it would scratch if shoulder slung.

Cal !
Are You F()#&!%G Kidding US?!?!?! The belt
maker can't stay sober long enough to count to 12 (or 14)
cartridge loops!!!!! Surely Mark Sullivan's guy can produce
a belt you'd like...

The fellow will be more than happy to make anyone of shootaways friends a belt.

I have tried several different methods to carry extra ammo. Initially, I carried two 10 round nylon ammo carriers attached to my pants belt. That wasn't too satisfactory as I had to take my belt out of my belt loops to put them on or take them off. In addition they dragged my pants down and I couldn't wait to take them off when we go back to the cruiser. Also, it seems that in a short time the bullets and cases had green corrosion visible on them.

I then tried a leather belt with two leather carriers. The belt was fairly wide and I noticed that I would have a line of sweat on my shirt under the belt after a long hot elephant track. The closed bottom loops of the carriers also collected rain and bits of vegetation which ended up on the ammo and sometimes caused some difficulty in chambering.

I finally ended up buying a web style culling belt from Westley Richards. It holds 20 rounds and is mostly web except for short leather buckle and tongue extensions. The webbing lets the skin breath, so no more sweat rings. Ammo does not get corroded, at least it hasn't so far. The open bottom ends of the loops lets moisture and debris fall through so none on the ammo. On several occasions, I didn't notice that I still had the belt on until an hour or more after we got back to the truck. To forget that you had a belt with 20 rounds of 470 ammo in it is still on after an hour must speak for itself. The only shortcoming with it is that because of its width, you can't easily attach a knife or GPS to it.

I bought a canvas culling belt from Trader Keith's.

I've got the Texas Huntco belt with two 10 round carriers. Only used it once so far but I like it.

I'm pretty sure we could get everyone to chip in and pay if you had one made for Cal with your name on it.

Yes, this is an great one.
It costs in Europe round about 100 Euro.
And the make it custom, so I get one with 10 rounds and "open on both Ends".

This is mine - got it made by Les Matheson of Napier New Zealand - recommended by Ozhunter.

I have 2 slips for 416 Rigby & 2 for my 9.3X62 - 5 rounds each.

I find it very comfortable to ware. Not been in the bush yet.
