bullet loop weight

Recommended Posts

What weight leather do you guys use for bullet loops I've seen where some have used 2-3 oz but that seems to light for a rifle round and 7-8 oz seems to be over kill i'm leaning towards 4-5 or 5-6 what are your opinions.  Thanks in advance.

I use 3 to 4 oz works good for me , i  like to add one four once thickness to overall case thickness for the distance apart with 277 thread top and bottom . for the diagonal i cut a grove so the stitching is flush only takes a second and works great sorry got long on that one .

4 oz is what I normally use. I buy sides especially for this. You can also adjust the width. Usually I make them around 3/4 inch, but lately I've been making my cartridge loops about an 1 inch wide.
