G'day all.

I finally got round to making some more .357 mag bullet loading strips for some guys at my club.

Started off measuring up and punched out the slot ends

Then died the leather and cut out welts.

Next came threading the loops and then punching holes for stitching the loops in.

OK, . . . I'm confused, . . . how do you use them?

Looks like something you would load up, . . . toss in a shooting bag, . . . 

Are they worn in any way on the body?

Thanks, may God bless,

Dwight, normally Single Action stages use 10 rounds for pistols and 10 for rifle, so a loading strip holding 20 rounds is used to take the ammo to the loading table (firearms are only loaded immediately prior to shooting the stage). It also ensures that you have the correct number of rounds to load - I once accidentally loaded 11 in the rifle, which only left 9 for the revolvers.:blink:

Most use a loop of leather/lace to hang it from the belt or the hammer of a revolver.

Noob, did you stitch between each loop? I've never found it necessary to do that as once it's fed through the slots it doesn't move.

Great explanation Dickman thanks.

Yes I stitched between each loop. Just to make sure they never move. I hate stitching but don't like making things for mates that break.

Fair enough. What about using those double-cap rivets instead? Might be easier and quicker than stitching and be decorative too.
