I keep them in a pocket. Now it's .17, but i done the same with the .22 stuff.

In the pocket they can "rattle", but it's no where near as bad as the box where the majority is the bullets moving in the plastic. The sound is muffled and if you use a smaller, tighter, pocket there is little to no movement.

Of course you can go "fancy" and get one of these.

The pocket i use is a zip pocket. It's only opened when i'm reloading the mag. Plus when i get home i empty the pocket of ammo and turn the pocket inside out to give it a clean. Just to be sure. Also the .17 has no way on the bullet so maybe look into getting a .17hmr. Hassle free shooting.

If you wanted to be fussy and use a pocket get a small plastic bag, cut it so it fits the pocket like a liner. Place the ammo in the bag, in the pocket. When you're finished shooting take it out. Simples.

What info have you on the Mach 2 bullet Cass.

I've never owned one. It's basically a .22lr necked down to take a .17 bullet. The speeds are ridiculous for such a small round with average speeds of 2,000 fps+. Meaning it's 800 fps faster than a stinger in .22lr. Plus with the Hornady BT bullet it's devastating on game.

Think of it this way. The Mach 2 is to .17hmr as the .22lr is to .22 magnum. Same bullet just in smaller case.

That is always the preferred option. Had plenty of mags, both 10 & 5 round, for the .22lr, but as of yet have not gotten any spare for the .17hmr. Something i need to do actually. Was at the range and left the mag at home. What a pain in the ass trying to load each round individually so imagine loosing it and having to play around with loading a single bullet at a time in the field.

I got them from CZ direct worked out about €100 for the 4 of them.

That's a damn sight better than €50 each here.

What a pain having to stick my finger up the magazine way to hold the round steady while closing the bolt.

Try that with fat fingers and a mag well designed to accommodate the small .17 round.
