Uncle Buck
New member
I have a .45 revolver (New Vaquero) and I found the perfect leather holster and belt for it. The holster fits like a dream, but the leather bullet loops are so blasted tight. I want to be able to wear this pistol and belt to the range so I do not have to carry extra ammo with me. I can wear what I shoot. ("You mean that is all you are going to shoot Uncle Buck? You must not be feeling well." Spoken by a know-it all teen-age nephew.)
How do I stretch the bullet loops enough to hold the cartridges, but not so much they get sloppy in the loops and fall out? Right now they are so blasted hard to get in or out of the loops and I have always been told not to store ammo in leather loops, so what are my options here? I plan on reloading the empties, so I do not know if leaving them in will hurt the brass. Use Nickle plated empties?
I do not know if this is in the right section or should be in the gear section, but I figured some of the older wheel guys/gals would know the answer. Sorry if it is in the wrong place.
