MRBB, Just FYI, I've had that one on my Guide Gun for about 20 years now. Still holds the cartridges firmly in place.
The problem I have with them is when I load up the Rifle with those 45-70 cartridges then fill up the elastic loops I darn near double the weight of the rifle! And I don't know why I carry them because I've never fired more than one shot with the guide gun at game (3 bear and 1 buck). But you just never know when you're going to have to track a wounded animal and may need the extras.
