This CARTRIDGE BELT listing was designed for the longer 45-70 cal cartridge. It is 3-1/4" wide instead of the standard 2-1/4" belts that we have listed for smaller calibers. But we can add any caliber or gauge.
30-40 cartridge loops, 4 colors of leather and 2 widths.
===================================
========================
CARTRIDGE BELT SIZING:

Please Pay Attention to this.

******We cannot process your order if you don't give us a size. ***********

To pick the size for the new cartridge belt, please remember that this belt will probably be worn over your trouser belt and some outdoor clothing.

So, we recommend that you select your Dress Belt size (the one you use for your trousers) as the tightest hole on the new Cartridge Belt. That way you can customize the range that you like.
============================

FAVORITE BELT:
If you have a favorite dress belt, but forgot the belt size just lay the dress belt on a table and measure from the buckle end over to the most used and worn hole. What is that size?
Send it to us in the PERSONALIZATION SECTION when you order.
This size will become the tightest hole on your new Cartridge Belt with 8 more holes for heavy clothing.

Please see the PERSONALIZATION SECTION when checking out, to add Initials and cartridge belt size.

For the tightest hole selection of 38", you would have 9 holes ranging to 46".

This will allow you to pick the best belt size of your choice.

Your new belt will be sized to fit with plenty of extra holes (8), holes to the right of the tightest hole to allow for heavy clothing or Carharts or Waders.

LARGER SIZE 50+:
Please email a request for anything larger than the 50". $10 More. Please add using the "custom work" link below.

DARK THREAD:

Some customers prefer the Dark thread be used on the Dark Brown and Black leather. Please email us to request this option or put your request in the CUSTOMER NOTES when you order.

============================
PERSONALIZATION:

ADD THE 3 LETTERS (No Spaces) to the PERSONALIZATION form during check out.
It doesn’t cost anything and it looks good too.
You’ll want your initials on when you hand this one down to the next generation.

NO EXTRA CHARGE TO ADD 3 LETTERS:

The Letter punch that we use has 1", Western style letters. But we do have a 1/2" letter if we need it.

ALSO: Please enter your belt size . Explained below in the form of:
LDK38

When you order, if you want the initials and the size to be used, please use all 3 available letter characters and the size.

LDK 38
Letters plus the size range is 6 character spaces. Please confirm the size.

===================================
SPECIAL NOTE ON THE SIZE 30"-38" RANGE:

If we cut the leather back so that the 30" is the tightest hole, it will reduce the number of loops we can put on the belt.
For instance, the most 45-70 we could put on the 30" size would be about 23.
All 50 of the .22 LR would fit and all 40 of the 30-30.

Size 42 is the minimum for us to put on (40) Loops of the 45-70 cal.

==================================
MAX LOOPS:

PLEASE NOTE!
The max loops count is based on the standard length belt (38"- 50"). If you need to change the size of the belt to make it smaller, the number of loops will be reduced.

When purchasing the .22 LR, we suggest ordering the 50 Loop selection to fill up the belt. Also, if you are ordering the .22 LR 30 Loops, please tell us if you want space for holsters for competition.
Right or Left side or both. The additional cost for the SMALL CALIBERS in the Options list above is just to cover more labor and stitching.

The cartridge holders are sewn into place with care given to the size of the cartridge so that they fit tight. Some force might be required to expand the loop for the first time_

NEW EXCEPTION:
35 LOOPS IS MAX FOR THE 45-70 and we've adjusted the price for that amount.
Please look for it when ordering.

Max Loops for 12ga is 24.
Max Loops for 28ga is 30.
Max and Standard Loops for 22 Rim Fire is 50. (Looks kinda bare otherwise.

MAX LOOPS FOR THE SMALLER CARTRIDGES is 40:
30-30, 32, 38, 357, 40, 45 LONG COLT, 45 REVOLVER, 308, 270, 223 ....
===============================
