has anyone tried to put shotgun shells in each of these pouches? any idea how many 12 GA shells will fit in each? I'm thinking of getting one of these for that

Never tried shot gun shells in this outfit! I think the pouches would be a little deep for that! Might be a little hard to get them out!

I believe that this pouch is intended for trap shooting and accommodates a box of 25 2 3/4" shells very nicely. I don't believe it will take your 3 1/2" shells. Save your Money on this one.

Mr. Floyd: Yes, I believe this vest should hold between four and six thirty rounder mags for the AK-series weapons. You may only be able to get one mag per pouch because of more curvature on the AK mag than on an AR/M16 version, for which they are actually designed. The pouches are NOT wide and deep enough to hold SKS mags, which have the long, front mounting lip. This is a terrific vest. I put two more AR mags in a Blackhawk belt pouch, and use anchor the whole rig on that same 5.11 Tactical Belt. 250 rounds of rifle ammo and over 100 rounds of pistol ammo is a good bit of firepower; far more than I was able to carry in Vietnam on a patrol.

I would say about 600 maybe more depending on if you keep them loose or leave them in the 20 rd packs...I have 370 some with plenty of room left over...plus a 440 round spam can lol

Just a follow up. I did purchase a Bagmaster 6 mag pouch for my double stack Beretta 9mm mags. It worked fine. You might want to check it out.

Hey Mr. Doe,The shell holders are for different calibers. This case holds 11 shell holders for the Lee press kit. However, you can reload about 100 different calibers from this kit. Good luck. I have one myself and love it.

Because of your question I went and checked. The one I received worked ideally for 12 gauge. The holder grips the shell body securely and it does not go past the brass case head. I removed the 12 gauge shells from the holder and let the grips "relax" for a few minutes before I dropped in the 20's. I observed that the 20 gauge shells fall right through the holders but catch the lip of the case head and goes no further. I pushed the 20 gauge shells about 1/4 inch deeper into the holder and got a secure register with the case head lip. I gave the gun a good shake side to side and the shells remained in place. In a pinch it will hold 20 gauge shells, just not as snug as the 12's. Just my opinion. Because of your question I went and checked. The one I received worked ideally for 12 gauge.

I also didn't use them all at once. The box contains several packs, with each containing 18 shells. They stay pretty fresh. I just stored the rest in a cool, dry place. It's been a couple of months and the shells are still good.

Mine does hold the 20ga shells ok, but its not as secure as I would like it to. It only takes mild pressure to remove the rounds instead of a firm pressure.

Yes you can, however there is a lot of extra room for the box to move around. I found it easier to just have the shells loose in the first pouch.

John my answer may not be of much help but here goes. I don't have a 410 so can't try a shell but I can say that on a new belt the loops are very tight and would likely hold 410 shells but if the elastic has ben stretched to accommodate 12 gage shells then I don't think this would work for you.

Yes, I had 3 shotguns, including a side/side double barrel, all 3 fit very well. I think the cases are of good quality, but I've only had mine a few months and they haven't really gotten much field use. Still I think they are really nice.

Well, that's a good question. The shelves are adjustable. I spaced my out evenly to store 22, 9mm, 45, 380, and 12 ga shells. I don't ammo cans so I don't know how to answer. You leave out the shelves and completely fill up the unit. What dimensions are you looking at?

This is made from a very strong elastic material. I have mine loaded with .410 shells and .45 colt and they seem to be fine. They may stretch but it will be a very long time and I believe unless you are putting giant .50 cal rounds in the bandoleer then it should be fine.

I tried fitting ak mags into the pouches that came with it but my ak mags have metal spines on the them , I might have forced them in but it seemed like it might get you killed trying to get them out . I ended up getting some more molle pouches that work better for meKmruler

I think you have to buy a air soft shotgun that is compatible to the shells. I bought a few of these shells for my nephews but they basically only use them for looks.
