I posted this on another thread that sort of brushed up against wheel gun ammo carriers other than speed loaders. I think it's worth posting here on it's own thread, for what it's worth.
Here's a tip for carrying your spare wheel gun ammo. Six rounds of .38 or .357 fit almost exactly in a plastic film can. Five one way, the other in the middle in the other direction. The black cans are best because of the way their gray lids "peel" off easily.
To carry 12 extra rounds, take two film cans and butt them together at their bases. Use wide clear plastic packaging tape for this, 2 or so times around them both and they are joined forever, with a gray cap at each end. This double film can really fits well in the hand and is very tactile and user friendly, even without looking at it, or in the dark.
This 12 pack of bullets fits well in a fanny pack, jacket pocket or purse. The plastic lids are secure, yet they peel off quickly to dump six rounds into your hands in a flash. My "go kit" includes 2 speed loaders, but also another 12 or 24 rounds of .357 in the double film can ammo holders. Try it, you'll like it. I do, anyway, and they're free. I also find it handy for carryig special loads in separate containers that are easily marked, such as rat shot, strike threes, etc.
