David Balthazar Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I'm having a custom shotgun belt being made, and wanted to keep the utility in it high. I have room to add 5-6 45/70 loops but is that even worth doing? Or should I just go with a dedicated bandolier/belt separate for 45/70s (maybe 15-20 loops)? Thank you!

Hillbilly Drifter Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Keep them separate. They will never be used together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 If you plan on shooting Cody Dixon, 6 or 7 loops would be worth while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 one belt doing both jobs makes sense to my practical self , im not always practical at this point in life , i do what works best for my needs so i recommend that to you - do it once and enjoy it a lifetime , do it wrong you do it multiple times and cost yourself more in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Balthazar Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Quote I recently saw some type of "plainsmani" category where Jed I Knight here shot a string of six rounds, and was curious if that was the norm? I will see if 6 rounds of 45/70 will fit between the shotgun loops with my custom maker... Either way, it was posted here prior, so I am just bringing it back up maybe for those who have not seen it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Hi David, Plainsman is a side match that is found at some annual matches. I think it would be better to have a small pouch on your SG shell belt for 45-70 rounds or whatever you chose. Although I have two 45-70 single shot rifles, I shoot neither for Plainsman.

David Balthazar Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Well I went with the six loops, which at the very least could also carry my .45 LC ammo as needed. I will post pics when I receive it, I think at the very least it will look cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
