best grab & go shotgun shell carrier?

[FriendOfEvanWilliams]

Hello everybody!

I'm looking to get some sort of carrier for spare shotgun shells as part of a bug-out kit. I'm looking for your personal opinions on bandoliers, slings with loops, belts, MOLLE accessories, etc. I've looked at the options for sale, but I want to hear some personal anecdotes and tips.


Thank you,
Jordan

I used a old Claymore mine bag to carry shotgun shells , while in the Army...it worked well.

Right now I have :
A shoulder bag made of waxed cotton ( made from an old "oilskin" jacket ) ...
A WWII surplus canvas "Satchel Signal" bag...
These work well for me and my shooting / carrying preferences.

100rd SAW pouch, ample space for a box of shells.
Shotgun cards, works great if ya have velcro on gun. I made a few for the Aguila minishells,but they work with the 2 3/4 standard sizes too. Look in classifieds

Tactical wheelbarrow with a picatinny for an optional barkless chihuahua.

My last house shotgun LONG ago became a safe queen but I keep this hanging off it. Made by Aim, holds 56. They run around $20-25. Figure if all hell is breaking loose and have to grab and move this will work. Seems very well made for the price.

Is this a sling/bandolier, or just a bandolier? This is what I was leaning towards, or maybe a scabbard with shell loops all over.

I think the tactical wheelbarrow would be better suited to my 7.5" Blackhawk .44. There's just no comfortable way to carry it around the woods. And if you can breed a barkless chihuahua I'm sold American. Sign me up.

M60 ammo bag works well for me. Holds a box of 12ga perfectly.

Oooh, you work at the dam? Ever since I was a little kid I thought that would be the coolest job ever. Thanks for keeping the lights on!

S.A.W. Mag Pouch or Gas Mask Pouch always worked really well!
Bandoleer shell cards of 5 rounds each, also work amazingly well, 5 rounds of specific types of shell are super easy to carry that way!

Bandolier. Bought a couple of them off Amazon long time back.

Any dump pouch with a bungee closure top can accommodate lots of shells and keep them from falling out. If I was rolling around wanting to have ample 12ga for a tube fed, that would be stupid simple and better than most options from a versatility and reliability standpoint.

Condor also makes these velcro expandable carriers that hold 25 rounds each in an enclosed pouch that can be ripped open to have access to all the rounds, otherwise just the top 10 are accessible.

If I was rolling with a shotgun, that's what I would do.
