Lightning Will, SASS#56934 8 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 How many 7 round magazines does your club typically require per Wild Bunch stage? Link to post Share on other sites
Three Foot Johnson 2,503 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 We usually shoot 28 rounds/4 mags total. I carry 6 mags on my belt, plus the one in the pistol. Link to post Share on other sites
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 2,697 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 4-6 mags of 7 rds Link to post Share on other sites
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 2,816 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 6 mags and a couple of working spares will get you through any WB event I've been to. But, I usually have 15 with me. Usually if a club intends to go hog wild with pistol rounds on stages, they will let shooters know. Cowtown club in west Phoenix is famous for having some heavy pistol round counts! Good luck, GJ Link to post Share on other sites
Attica Jack #23953 223 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I carry 7 mags. A stage with 28 rounds is pretty normal. Where I shoot typically the last stage is all pistol.....lots of fun. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Man Graybeard 335 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I shot one stage last year that was handgun only. 35 rounds Link to post Share on other sites
Bullett Sass 19707 83 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I carry 6 magazines of 7 rds each If I think I may need more I put 1 in my pocket. Bullett 19707 Link to post Share on other sites
Hollifer A. Dollar 131 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 For Panhandle Cattle Company, 21 pistol, 6-10 rifle & 4-6 shotgun is the standard I use for WB stages. I only do 28 round pistol stages if I take away one of the long guns & usually do that for 1 stage per match. We did 4 stages of 28 pistol rounds once & it made the match run way too long.

Griff 1,525 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 If I recall correctly, only ONE mag is required. But, that's strictly for the operation of the pistol... and it'll kill the clock to reload it time after time in the course of a stage. A Wild Bunch match is like a tour of duty for a cop... and I carried 10 spare mags besides the 3 on me... just in case! We typically shoot between 28 & 35 pistol rounds per stage... BTW, a magazine loader is your friend... Link to post Share on other sites
KingSnake 49 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I have 6 mags loaded with 7 rounds each on my belt and carry one to the load table. I don't carry a 'Barney' mag. When we used 5 round mags I always brought 30 loaded for me and 30 loaded for Shotgun Shannon to a match. With the 7 round rule now we only use 18 to 24 mags each per match. We shoot where mags can land in 'flour' dirt so we don't reload them at matches. And as Garrison Joe mentioned we're known to shoot a lot of ammo at Cowtown in Phoenix. I like the occasional 42 round stage as long as I can remember where they all go. A couple years ago at 'The Bodie Blast' I think the main stage was 210 rounds. BRUTAL !!!

Church Key, SASS # 33713 243 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 FYI - You do not have to carry a bunch of magazines on your person. WB rules allow for pre-staging of mags: "Additional magazines or loose ammunition the shooter may wish to have beyond those the shooter can carry in magazine pouches or ammunition loops may be staged at locations and manner of their choice. Additional magazines and loose ammunition to be staged may be brought to the line in any safe manner." This is directly from the January 2019 WB rule book (ver. 12-2) in the section entitled "HOLSTERS, CARTRIDGE BELTS, AND BANDOLEERS". Link to post Share on other sites
