Good Morning Ken!
This past year, I generally used the web belt I bought on the net. I did not fill all the loops though!
Since I got the Lyman taper crimp die, I am having less misgivings about carrying ammo. I just seat a little deeper and crimp on the front driving band.

I wear my web belt that I got from shiloh sharps that holds 40 rounds, just put in as many rounds as you need, 5,10,15. If you use a leather cartridge belt make sure you pull your cartridges out after your done hunting, if you leave them in there they will discolor and even turn you brass green with corrosion.

Ammo Carry
Hey,
I agree with 'DAKOTASHARPS'. I know it's comforting to know all that ammo is there. I feel a little naked with just 3 rounds on me. Leftover training from my Marine Corps days. You're not going into battle. I carry 3 rounds. One for the for the rifle, and one for each front pocket. There was only one time I needed all three. As it turns out, If I would have been more patient, the first shot would have killed the buck. A buck in rut on the tail of a Doe, doesn't alway die when it's dead.

I just carry a few at a time out with me in this.
I have matching holsters and money belt for a couple of my sixguns.

I'm no longer much into hunting but I do have a McKeever pouch for my Springfield. It will hold 10 rounds, if you need that many, in a well protected leather pouch with fabric loops for the cases. When flipped open the cartridges present themselves for easy access and the flap is not in the way. I got mine from S&S Firearms and it is a nice piece. I think Cabela's has them. It's perfect for 45-70 and 40-65 and similar cartridges, fits easily on a belt, gives more protection than belt loops, and is very easy to access.
