20.  Never know, ran through 7-8 on a muley before.  Took one to the front shoulder two pass throughs in the boiler room, one behind diaphragm and he still covered 500 yards.  Animals are extremely tough at times.. also can be used for distress signal, food survival. If partners gun locks up he can use mine if tagged out, powder has many uses.  Just nice to have plenty.

Are we talking backpack hunting in wolf country? Can have a big impact on how many rounds I throw.

I've been trying to convince my group to shoot the same caliber so we can each carry less but they don't want to accommodate me. lol

I was just thinking the same thing and saw your response.  Funny how tied we get to our favorite caliber.

Think of it this way guys, the more rounds you carry the more calories you are burning and the bigger the burger you can eat when you get out of the hills.  That's always how I thought of extra weight in my backpacking days.  I routinely carried 60-70 pound packs.  I've packed beer and even melons into the back country, much to the surprise of my backpacking buddies.

I carry one four round mag in the rifle, another four round mag in my accessible pocket. In my pack I carry a plastic strip of 10 in a ziplock bag, for emergencies only.

Same, except my mags hold 3 each.

Some interesting responses in this thread.  Makes me wonder how many times some of you guys plan to miss.

Yes, that is the only consideration.  There is no possibility you might bump your scope or lose a few or loan a few to a forgetful buddy.

In 53 years of hunting never needed more than 9 rounds ( generally 1 ) but hate the thought of being 5 miles in and running out of ammo when I could of thrown another 5 rounds in the bottom of the pack........
