    Nice work @joelhenton .do you have anything inside the pouch to separate/hold the rounds or are they just sitting in there?

    Thanks Hamish! It's not perfect but I am very happy with it.

    @hunter Al.7mm08 I have used a plastic insert from a box of PMC 223. It's the perfect size.

    Yeah it would have no doubt been a bit easier to work with if I had. It's 3mm leather I got from NZ Leather Suppliers. I will make an 8 round pouch for my 7mm-08 when I get some free time.

    Thanks,
    Joel

    Are these any good for any leather smiths out there...??

    Old leather cut for reins, never being used. Would need a good oiling.

    Could be used as good belt leather..??

    PM to discuss if interested...
