I heard I should use 3-5 ounce leather for cartridge loops on my gun belt I'm making. I'm going in and out the same hole for each cartridge. Im new to leather tooling, what kind of leather do I need. I've looked on eBay and I see taupe cowhide, bison buffalo leather, etc .what works? I ordered a strip of rawhide but now after reading about rawhide idk if it will work. Is rawhide suitable for cartridge loops or is it really stiff and will not stretch? Where can I buy small quantities of 4oz leather in, 3/4" strips would be nice, I can't afford $50> orders right now for just a small strip.
