Have you caught on to the neat and handy way of carrying a dozen rounds of .50 ammunition for use in the field? The Tac-Star *sidesaddle* 12-gauge shotgun shell holders meant to be attached to the side of a pump shotgun action neatly hold s shotgun shells in line, but are happily also just the right diameter for .50 rounds. Simply bolting two of the things back-to-back with a carrying strap fixed in between makes a quick-and-dirty speedloader for a Big .50, whether afield hunting or on a target range.
At $25 each the *sidesaddle* carriers are not exactly a disposable item, but a pair of them so arranged do get the job done, and they can still be disassembled and used for their originally intended purpose, or a single unit may be affixed to a .50 rifle to keep a half-dozen rounds handy for fast reloads.
