[QUOTE="DMP25-06, post: 2133299, member: 27271"] I have always carried a total of 23 cartridges , 3 in the rifle , 10 in a leather belt pouch , and 10 in my belly/butt pack . I have done this since I began hunting in the mountains of Colorado , New Mexico , Montana , and Wyoming , from 1973 - 2011 . The early years of the 1970's , 80's , 90's , there were no cell phones , and I carried the extras while walking back into the mountains in case of emergency if I were to be injured . Back then , it was a somewhat universal distress signal to fire 3 shots , wait a brief time , 60 seconds , and repeat the 3 shots . Repeat again after a 1-2 hour interval . I had enough for 3 volleys , plus several additional shots if a rescue searcher were to reply with 3 shots . Plus , I always had an additional box of 50 in my vehicle , in the event of needing to repair/re-zero my rifle , if necessary . DMP25-06 [/QUOTE]
