How many can you carry at one time? Thats the number you need

Great answer.
9+1
270-300 rounds and 10 is about as much as one can realistically carry.

f you ever NEED more than three or four mags: You ain't short of mags, you're short of people on your side of the argument.

Beautifully spoken Art.

Enough for what?

Good Point above, for work I have one in the mag well and 5 in pouches, but 2 mags are 75 Tap and two 55 Tap and two in FMJ 55. Running around in the woods on the 4 wheeler 2 or 3 mags tops. SHTF you cant have enough. Plus they are mechanical and do break down, so keep in stock a couple of rebuild kits to repair. Mark each one, I use numbers to keep track of them and know which one it to fix if it fails. dont forget to try all of them, dont keep using the same ones.

 

[Guns and more]

I have the 2-20 rounders that came with the carbine and 4-30 round P-mags.
I can't imagine the scenario where that isn't enough and I'm the only one with a gun.
At the range, I like to reload the mags as it gives me a little break.
(Isn't the Maglula the greatest ever? Genius.)
