I forgot about the shell caddies, all that old school technology takes up a lot of room
I does, but, some people shoot iron sights too. I do know some sick individuals that would negate some of that advantage with evil course design.
Did you catch what I had said about the smooth half of Velcro in the Choate caddies?How do you arrange your gear on the belt, and do you change it from stage to stage? I'm planning to keep my pistol gear in the same places I use for shooting production in pistol matches. I have a 40 round AR mag, so I probably won't need to reload very often for rifle, but I still want a backup mag. I ordered two choate 6 round shotgun carriers for now. I'm planning to put those pretty much front and center. What kind of carrier do you use for AR mags and should it be in front of or behind the pistol mags?

Installed a magwell on the Saiga last night.
Wanna install another one??
Matt, it only takes a few minutes.....and a 3 pound hammer. Right, Mike?
Jeff, I know you were one of the shooters. That's why I posted.I was one of those shooters. Downloading by one round wasn't enough. At least the second time I knew why I couldn't get the mag to lock in. No amount of shoving would get it to lock. At least it felt wrong right away rather than dropping it on the ground. I'll try it with 28 rounds when I can get to the range.
I was using some borrowed pre-ban Colt 30 rounders. Anything I should look for when shopping for mags? Is it possible to get them to work with 30?

What does everyone recommend for hauling my gear around at matches? I saw people at the Harvard rifle match with what looked like modified strollers which seemed to work well.
Well, I've determined empirically that 29 is still to many, so 28 sounds good.
a baby stroller with ATV gun mounts works very well
I found these..
http://www.lapolicegear.com/5ta42dorica.html (NOT promoting the seller.. just the item)
and for a rifle only match, it has plenty of room for all the gear, mags, ammo, and the rifle.
Backpack straps to boot.
If you want to run 30 rounds in a mag, get a nordic extension for a pmag.
Not only can you now load 30, you can run up to 45 rounds and still do a reload with it.
Or pickup on of the steel 40 rounders (and test it with the gun you are shooting at the match)
PMag is a non-starter here unfortunately. I have a steel 40 but when I tested it quickly, it doesn't work at all. Haven't had a chance to try and figure out why.
This is a great solution for 3 gun matches as you have plenty of room for all your gear, and three firearms.
Or if you are cart "sharing" with a buddy, it works well.

Picked up mine from a boot shop in Brewer Maine (who has several IDPA/ 3 gunners on staff).
Another variation of the cart is a hand pushed golf cart and a plastic milk crate.. cheap.
I went with the Brownells 3 Gun bag. Like it a lot
