21. It depends on the round

20 12 gauge shotgun shells are pretty bulky. Ditto for 30-06 and a lot of other deer rounds. Those would be kind of hard to miss but possible.

20 rounds of 22lr, OTOH, can easily fit in the palm of your hand.

Last time I cleaned out my range bag, I found a more than a few 22lr rounds stuck in the corners, in pockets and underneath some padding (to give a gauge of the size, it is 22" x 15" x 10" and has half a dozen or so zippered compartments and a velcro attached padding in the bottom).

Just how casual do you have to be to miss 20 rounds in your bag???? I can see that 4 loose rounds or only one might be Ford_Prefect May 3 #6
