Ammo Storage for Hunting

[Quicksilver338]

300 norma is the same bolt face and diameter as a 338 lapua, just shortened a little. So she's a fat bottomed girl.

Kuiu has a 10 round flip open style with a belt loop. Pretty handy.

Curious what everyone uses for a compact and secure means for storing and transporting your ammo while hunting. I backpack hunt the high country where I live and only looking to carry 5-10 rounds of ammo. Last year I used a nice leather fold over style pouch that held 5 300wm rounds. This year I will be hunting with a 300 norma mag improved and am looking for ideas along the same lines to hold a cartridge body of that size. Ideally to work with 338 Lapua as well. I'm sure a cartridge this size really narrows available options but open to everyone's options and ideas!

Is your rifle mag fed. If so check the law on capacity size that's legal. Most people thank its 5 round but it's not. Just get a 10 round mag and be done with it.

Love the fold over pouches. Pouches for African calibers should be big enough. If you go high end with leather, be sure and not leave the cartridges in them for an extended period. The leather will corrode them. Really, anything that doesn't rattle and protects the ammo is more than fine.

Internal box mag so only 2rds I think, 3 max

Figured I should follow up with this. I ordered a small pelican waterproof case and some foam. The bottom of the case is rubber lined so I stacked some factory 230gr 300 Norma rounds in there and then cut the top foam for 3 more to sit comfortably. With ammo on the bottom it provides enough pressure to hold everything in with no rattle. Compact enough case I don't have to worry about getting wet or beat up in the back country makes me feel confident my ammo will stay as precise as my rifle was built to!
