OK, you just spent a pile of money on a good .69 box. Do you cut the back so you can put it on your belt? Not me brother!

Man,

I just can't picture myself carrying 40 rounds of .69 ammo on my waist belt. I know they did it, but it still blows my mind. I have a Corn Fed "Campaign Rig" that includes a .54 cartridge box on a Federal waist belt with a defaced U.S. plate, but I only carry blanks around. smile/eek.gif

Bill I commented elsewhere about the weight of a .58 box.  I have worn such with the weighted tins for the real feel and it stunk.  I can't imagine adding weight to one.
