KYLimbHanger Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I have a Remi 700 BDL .270 that will hold 5 rounds. I normally take a few more rounds with me. This season, I think 5 sounds like enough, being that it should only take one shot to harvest. Wondering how many rounds you guys normally take into the woods: rifle cartridges or shotgun slugs? I know of some people that will take 15 to 20 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Re: How many rounds do you take? i only take 3 with me...if it takes more than 1 to shoot a deer...then i think i outta be at the range practicing rather than hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Re: How many rounds do you take? I have a bullet holder on my stock that holds 5. I fill it up. I've never used more than 1, so I'm not really sure why I do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Re: How many rounds do you take? Keep 3 in the magazine on my 700 when I am hunting, pretty sure the law says you are not supposed to have more than 3. I carry a partial box in my parka pocket, the box usually has anywhere from 5 rounds up to a full box. Like to carry the box, because the shells in the box are quiet.

KYLimbHanger Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Re: How many rounds do you take? Since I was a young lad, tradition was always to take an odd amount of shells.

Guest Colorado_Sportsman Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Re: How many rounds do you take? Depends on where I am hunting. If I go off into a Wilderness Area, I carry more just in case I have stay out there longer than intended. If I am going to a stand or someplace close I take 3 or 4. Most of the time I bring more than one kind of round and select my bullet when I get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if i take more thana couple few shots if thats not enough ill just leave aint worth it if the gun aint on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest potato Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Re: How many rounds do you take? last year i had one in chamber 4 in rifle pouch thing..and usually 10 more in my bag so 15 Little story why. Last year was my first year hunting and lets just say buck fever hit and i missed 6 times on the same deer, and hit on the 7th shot. He was down in the corner of a corn feild surrounded by woods and it confused him on where the shot was comeing from, and on top of that he was more intersted in the do. This year probably 4 in the mag and a box in the bag so i dont ever have to really worry bout getting them bye the end of season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
