Wrong ammo in bandoliers


Why did the rebels wear bandoliers of 7mm ammo when they were mostly shooting lever action rifles not chambered for that caliber?

Reminds me of Steve Mcqueen in the old TV series "Wanted Dead or Alive." He also wore a bandolier with the wrong ammo, but the "suits" thought it looked better and Steve had no clout at that stage of his career.
