In my case for IDPA three mags are an absolute minimum, but I typically load up and carry 5 or 6. I always have at least 3 boxes of 50 rounds on hand. In the case where we shoot a Steel & Paper Challenge, 8 mags are not too many and I bring 250 rounds. Clubs certainly can vary on numbers of stages and round counts. An ordinary Steel Challenge is not the same as a Steel & Paper Challenge. I've never shot a match limited to steel only.
