Take a look at the above post . . . it shows you the very best way to do it for .22's. Trying to do them by measurement will generally make you wish you pulled your hair out first. When you do this for .22's . . . try to find some calf leather . . . John Bianchi (I believe it was him) . . . said it was the best for the belt loops. For these . . . 3/4 oz is plenty . . . you want the leather damp . . . push it thru . . . pull it back to make the circle . . . put a cartridge in there . . . pull it tight . . . go on to the next one. I let these get pretty darn near dry before I pull the cartridges out. Have fun . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davm Report post Posted February 9, 2022 I'd say the main thing is to use really thin leather. There is some wiggle room on the spacing of the holes. I'd say stitching 22 loops might be daunting, I'd go with an "in and out type of method, probably one hole per bullet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
