RE: How many shots do you carry in the woods?
Never needed more than two shots in one day, course then I needed a horse to drag two deer...sucks when that happens.
I carry a load in the rifle and 11 of those blackT/Cspeed loaders. I pre-measure my charges by weight and figure 12 rounds will get mea long ways through the season, they all just go in the pouch and ride alongwith me. Hasn't let me down yet.
I also carry two inline cappers full of #11's,don't weigh nuthin' so why not. I've primed and de-primed a bunch of times in one day, so havin'extra primers don't bother me a'tall.......
