I like if the snap opens accidentally, they won't fall out necessarily.

I get scraps from a saddlemaker friend frequently. I made some cartridge holders, and learning the loops for different size cartridges is challenging.  What I did find out - and should have known - is that you've got to be careful about long term storage. Some of the chemicals in the leather will start corrosion on brass cases. It takes a while, but will start sucking the copper out of the brass. Not good!!

yea I've seen that on older bullet loops and some of my knives fitted with brass. Must be the tannins or maybe the pickling salts.

These have to be pretty caliber specific also, you have to figure in the length and diameter I'm sure a few may interchange like 270s and 30 06, 7mm 06.
