.22 rimfire ammo carriers

[Texas by God]

These are handy for hunting with single shot .22s. My daughter gave me the one on the right. The one on the left is obviously a 1/4" hex bit holder. Discovered by me today and everybody else years ago probably.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181029/be166b15c9b79a9f30bf4245bf3b7e8c.jpg

For ammo that uses a hard wax lube there ok, but for ammo with a soft lube I am quite fond of the MTM ammo wallet.

[dverna]

I have used a pill bottle or the old 35mm film cannisters (yep...dating myself) to carry loose rounds. Not a good way to carry ammo if using a single shot as it is slow to use but they are free.

[cwlongshot]

I attached one to my stock on a H&R!

This is an interesting option.

[marlin39a]

I've got 3 of the Marbles Catch 22's. They hold 50 rds, in 10 slots of 5 rds. They have a clip to secure to the belt. I highly recommend for extra ammo.

[robg]

I use the little green sierra bullet boxes as they are free hold about 80

[Texas by God]

That is cool, cwlongshot. What did you attach it with?
On board ammo carriers are De Riguer for our Toppers scattered around the place. I'm not sticking one on my Remington 510, but the Rossi Matched Pair? Heck yeah.

[rancher1913]

ive got one the you slide open the side and can dump a whole 50 round box in then slide the cover shut, it clips to your belt and has a rotatory on the end that dispenses 1 round at a time as you spin it. had it since I was a kid, grandfather gave it to me to go along with the single shot rifle.

Does anyone make something similar now? That’s cool. Got any pics?

I carry my 22LR ammo in a zippered leather tobacco pouch.
The type pipe smokers use.
Being soft and pliable, it fits in the pocket easily...dale

[redhawk0]

I guess I'm an odd-ball here. I save a Remginton Square 100 pack cases (the yellow kind)...and just refill it and carry that.

Mine are kept in a spare magazine in a pocket, extra box in the truck to fill them. Be a GREAT day if I have to refill the mags.

Clever idea! I'm gonna add that to my "kitchen-door" Stevens Favorite.

Dale, that is one of the more elegantly simple things to use. In my youth I used an old worn tobacco pouch that my step dad had retired from his smoke stuff. Still smelled of borkum riff.

An old ladies coin purse would also work well, also those vinyl rubber squeeze coin cases from yore.

I have always meant to make a flat wooden pocket case to hold ten rounds of 22 or magnum with a swivel top. Or another idea was a dovetailed slide top.

Just now I thought that the eighties and nineties vintage military flat ear plug case would work nicely. For that matter a tic tac case works. I did that too for just enough for a squirrel walk about. I don’t need a full 50 or 100 count box for that.

[Minerat]

I use a ziplock baggy.

[Texas by God]

This came from a thought to carry enough ammo for a brace of squirrels with no rattle in my pocket. My squirrel woods are 80yards from my house so I don't need a lot of ammo.
Years ago I modified a P14 trapdoor buttplate to fit a Remington 510 for ammo storage. The problem there was that the bullets oxidized badly if left in there for weeks.

That's the way I carried my 22 ammo since I was old enough to hunt alone. I had a blow
out in the old tobacco pouch about 10yrs ago. Couldn't find another and now have some
kind of pouch made of nylon that sunglasses came in. It was best thing to carry ammo
quietly and cleanly. Fit in back pocket like a wallet.

[dale2242]

I also use a soft cloth zippered pouch.
I think it was a small makeup pouch from my wife....dale

[georgerkahn]

I like your idea! I used to frequent a not-so-local bank to "klept" a couple of their ball-point pens. A larger diameter than most, I discovered that taking out the ink cartridge, and leaving the spring in, is a very discrete, nifty way to carry ten rounds (in two 'pens'). They stay clean, don't rattle, and -- as I almost always (old Bullseye shooter) load FIVE rounds -- for me, it works. And, again, quite discrete.

I bet one of the old change holders that opened when squeezed would work as good today as it did for my late Father.

[roysha]

Oh my goodness! I haven't thought about those things for 50 years.

We use to get them with the football schedule printed on them, (or just about any sort of advertisement) with a bead chain on one end for our car keys. Everyone had one hanging off the steering column and it was handy for parking meter change. Never thought about using them for 22s.

A company in Idaho purpose-built leather .22 rimfire ammunition carriers using that exact same spring clasp mechanism. It had a belt slot to thread it on your belt and a supple plastic liner inside to keep the lube from coating the inside leather and becoming a gunk trap. I have had mine for probably 40 years now, the inside plastic has cracked and broken from use, but everything else is still as good as the day it was new. I can't imagine how many .22's have made their way through that thing over the years, and I still use it if I am out with a .22.

Beeman bought the rights to the carrier but apparently no longer makes them. Look identical to mine, except mine is a cordova brown, rather than black.

230347

The leathersmith in Kalispell who does all our leather repairs and builds, says he will build as many as I want if I can find him a source for the clasp spring closures at the top. I don't even know the proper name for that kind of closing mechanism.

I have all the rimfire ammunition pouches I need for this lifetime, but I have run into lots of people who would like one for themselves

[samari46]

For you lovers of Seagram's Crown Royal, save those nice fancy bags the bottles come in. Some of the suppliers of black powder stuff might have bullet or ball bags. Usually they are made of leather with maybe a draw string closure.My wife has a stash of different cosmetics that come in different size plastic jars which if your married might be a good idea for storing 22 ammo when your out in the field. How about the little metal bandaid tins.Frank

[tazman]

The bandaid tins bend and come open too easily in your pocket and they rattle. Other than that, they are a perfect size.

[rking22]

I used a rock climbing chalk bag when hunting with my single shot rifles,for a while. Seems I've come full circle ( or regressed?)) and now just drop them in my jacket pocket now/again. Rereading this, I think I'll appropriate one of our glasses bags with the drawstring. Still keep a couple loose in the pocket but the bag will let me dispense with the cardboard box. Thanks for the thread/ideas!

[ulav8r]

Use a magazine from your 22 auto pistol.

[45workhorse]

Ted Cash has a brass or German-silver snuff can holder.. Recommend German silver for the snuff and the brass one one for ammo. Brass tasteing Copenhagen, not so good!!:redneck:

Reminds me of the leather pouch I had back in the early sixties. It was flat with a tapered neck that allowed you to squeeze the sides and pour out however rounds you needed. It was made by one of the holster companies. Like many of my childhood items it has disappeared.

[rancher1913]

if you succeed, I would be interested in buying a couple. mine still works fine but it works so well I would like some more.

[Chev. William]

Empty "Altoids" Tins with a piece of soft Foam inserted works well to keep my wildcat .25 Stevens Long CF cartridges in.
Thgey should also work for .22 RF cartridges.
Another Use is with a cut down hard foam cartridge holder in it; I use them for 'acorn' blanks to use with my RF Adapter cartridges.

A .32 Long Adapter, a "acorn' .22 blank, some BP and a.32 Heeled bullet works fine in a Stevens Single shot fitted with a .22 Breech block and a .32 Long barrel. No need to worry a?bout orientation of the adapter in the rifle.
And reloading the adapter at the range is all hand operations.

Chev. Wiliam

[Mr_Sheesh]

rancher1913 - If I do that I'd have to go Vendor Services unless I just made a few? We'll see. Might do it :)

Chev. William - An "Altoids Smalls" tin might work well too, and is smaller. Even 22 WMR rounds will fit in there.

Altoids Tin Dimensions: 3-13/16" (9.68 cm) long, 2-7/16" (6.19 cm) wide, 3/4" (1.91 cm) deep
Altoids Smalls Tin Dimensions: 2 1/2" L X 1 5/8" W X 1/2" H

.22 LR Dimensions: Overall length 1.000 in (25.4 mm)
.22 WMR Dimensions: Overall length 1.350 in (34.3 mm)

I used and still use (have one left) of the old Herter's slip top 50 round .22 boxes. Easy to open and is more or less waterproof. It has made many canoe trips with me. Seems like I've seen the pop open plastic change purses on evil bay before./beagle

[wlc]

I've used copenhagen cans for years. Like them better now that snuff comes in a plastic can.

I wouldn't be surprised if you and I are the only 2 people here that own any of them. Like the dummy I am, back when they were available I figured they would be available forever so gave several away leaving me with 2 or 3. My only compliant was when they got cold and my fingers were also cold, it was almost impossible to slip the top off, and when it did finally give, so did the ammo, right out on the ground or better yet into two feet of snow. However, I still like them and use then to carry ammo in the glove compartment of my vehicles.

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "reusing" the plastic 100rd CCI packaging with slide top.
They are my favorite...I find them all the time in the range trash can.

[rking22]

Kind of off topic, but I scrounge all the 17hrm cci boxes for my ready to use hunting boolits. Keeps me from plinking them up! Reuse/repurpose!

[TNsailorman]

I have been using the CCI plastic boxes for year now, storing small items. They work great as OP said. james

[tinstarfirearms]

This Marbles brand carrier works for me.

Mentos and similar plastic containers work great for carrying/dispensing extra .22 rimfire ammo. TicTac containers are perfect for airgun pellets.

When my Uncle was passing thing down to me, he gave me this. He used it to carry extra rounds for his Ruger revolver. Now I am waiting for him to sell me his revolver.233803233805

Stick it in your back pocket.

Finally got a picture small enough to post. This is what I use when it is warm and hunting or just woods loafing with my Rem33 or Win 67.235024
Repurposed chalk bag for climbing. Quiet and handy on the belt.

[Bazoo]

I currently use a pill bottle. It's a larger one and it's soft plastic so if it gets dropped or set on it don't break. In the past I've done the pocket thing, used a drawstring leather pouch I made and a spring opening round ball pouch by safariland (I forget the model).

[Larry in MT]

As a 10 year old, I had a leather ammo belt that held 30 cartridges. Liked it so much I had the part with the loops cut out of the old belt and sewn onto bigger belts as I grew.

Years ago, Uncle Mike's made a small pouch with a belt loop and a Velcro closing that would hold 100 rounds or so. I still have one in the truck.

When I get on the 4 wheeler, I usually wear a 22 revolver and carry extra ammo in a 35mm film cannister. I saved several of those back in the day. In the Summer, I carry two, one full of 22 shot shells.
