Bought this for a Rossi R92 lever action rifle.
It holds 9 rounds of .44 rem mag perfectly snug, but the rounds aren't long enough to poke all the way through; they only fit about halfway - assuming you leave enough room to actually grab the end of a round. So, for a .44 cartridge, you really can only grab them from one side, you can't easily push them from the other side. Assume you were maneuvering, I don't think a thick .44 round can slip out easily, even though it's not completely secured all the way through.
(I assume this shell holder is meant more for typical rifle cartridges like 223/556, 30-30, 308, etc - which would allow you to remove the round by pushing the bullet-side and enabling more purchase on the primer side)
The lever gun I put it on has a pretty small buttstock in terms of height. So, it fits kind of loose, but stays on if you position it closer to the very end of the buttstock, where it's thickest. I have not fired with it yet, but I suspect that it might easily shift around the smooth buttstock. It obviously wouldn't fall off during fire, cuz your shoulder will block it from slipping off. I DO think, if you were maneuvering, that it could easily fall off if it got caught on something.
That being said, it fits snuggly and tight on your typical bolt-actions, like a Savage Axis. In my limited experience with lever guns, their buttstocks are pretty short in height, so just beware - this shell holder "fits" a lever gun - but it's about as snug as putting a wet t-shirt on.
All-in-all, for the price, this is a great solution for holding 9 rounds.
