If that's all I have I dont care to venture out with just on shot in a rifle. However I always believe in being prepared in the event of perhaps bear or coyotes on the way out. I carry 7 in my .35 Marlin and another 7 in my pack and I usually carry my Vaquero .357 w/ only the shells in the cylinder.

Unless you are carrying fuzed, high-explosive warheads in your pocket, there's NO WAY any of them are going to go off! To prove this, just take a couple of rounds of your rifle ammo and toss them way up into the air over a concrete slab so they come down 50 yards away on the concrete. This will show you just how shockproof modern ammo loaded with smokeless powder actually is.....

When I take the single shot, I keep extra carts in my vest pocket, it has elastic slots for holding ammo. When I use anything else, I just load what the mag will hold and go with that. I just try to keep 'er simple.

I carry 5 in the 870, and five in my pocket. I have need the extras once. I made a good shot on a deer that dropped but got up and ran to cover, I shot 3 more times and just put a hole in its ear. A second deer ran by just then and I spined it. That's 5 shots in 3 seconds or so. I was empty. I reloaded and missed the cripple's neck from 40 once and used another round to finish it. I had only 3 left when I went into the brush after the first deer but it was dead just a few feet in. As I said, the first shot was well placed.

I don't think 5 is enough when I have multiple tags, or when party hunting (perfectly legal during the Iowa shotgun seasons).

...and generally, even fuzed, HE rounds are "spin-armed", meaning that they don't fully activate until the round has made a set number of complete revolutions. Features like that prevent over-eager GIs from blowing doors off houses during MOUT with their M203, thus committing suicide by being well within the bursting radius of their own 40mm HE grenades.

Don't believe what you saw in the movie.....

Mine are in a soft folding wallet of such that are held separate so they don’t touch to make any noise when I’m walking...
