Abstract: A cartridge staging device for carrying or staging one or more ammunition cartridges is provided. The device may include one or more cartridge retainers, such as a proximal cartridge retainer, a terminal cartridge retainer, and a plurality of central cartridge retainers. The cartridge retainers may be coupled to a back plate which may include a first plate surface, a second plate surface, a plate upper end, and a plate lower end. The cartridge retainers may each be coupled to the first plate surface between the plate upper end and the plate lower end. The back plate may be substantially rigid so as to prevent a proximal cartridge retainer and terminal cartridge retainer from being moved proximate to each other. A handle may be coupled to the plate upper end.

Abstract: A cartridge staging device for carrying one or more ammunition cartridges is provided. The device may include an elongated body having a first side, a second side, an upper end, and a lower end. A handle may be coupled proximate to the upper end of the body. The handle may have a loop shape. A plurality of cartridge retainers, each having a cartridge cavity, may be disposed between the upper end and the lower end. Preferably, an ammunition cartridge may be removably coupled to the device by a cartridge retainer by being frictionally retained within the cartridge cavity of the cartridge retainer.
