You can get a cammo nylon one from target sports for a fiver. These are things you can buy at any gunshop, at hugely varying prices, depending whether it's got leather loops on a leather belt,or a leather loop on webbing type, open loops,closed loops etc. If you want to go along to H & H or Purdey's, you will get a best leather for maybe $150 (pound sign broken). Mine is a webbing belt with leather loops, it had only 20, but I got a leather smith to put 4 more each end. I only use it when rough shooting, full of 6's and a few heavy cartridges at one end. It wasn't expensive, and looks much the same as it did 20 years ago. You don't have to spend a lot to get a belt that will last for many years.Jack Pyke probably have what you need.

I don't have any experience with them, I much prefer a cartridge bag, it holds more plus there's nveber any chance of folds of fabric getting in the way, but I'd go for something leather, probably with a closed over loop

Only problem with a bag or your pockets is that the cartridges can jingle about and make some noise sometimes.

 

I use a cheap webbed type cartidge belt with elastic hoops for my .410 and get on well with it. Im sure it wont last me a lifetime, but for the money i paid, ive already had my moneys worth out of it.

I bought one off fleebay it was a nylon/cammo type thing and when I put cartridges in it as proud as punch I had only walked about 30 yards on the road and I heard a noise and the material was squeezing the carts up and coming out and dropping on the floor.

I would recommend leather if any.

I haven't noticed any difference between cartridges in a bag or sneaking about with the rifle, compared to the noise of me walking on dry leaves it's negligible and I haven't noticed then jangling about because they may jiggle the first few steps but thereafter they settle into position and don't move from there, the only issue is if you climb a gate and slip over it, sometimes the bag can rest on the top bar of the gate and fall off making a noise, , and rattle sometimes but no worse than a squeaking gate, or if I run then it is noisy granted, plus it flaps about, but as for you flushing game, surely that isn't an issue as we're talking shotguns here and not rifles
