Realistically, how many bolter rounds could a space marine carry at once?

Whenever I see a bolter I can't help but be amused by the size of the rounds in the magazine. Even with a handful of reloads in their various pouches, I can't imagine them getting off more than like 20-30 shots without having to run and find the nearest ammo-serf.

After the heresy finally ended, it must have been pretty harrowing for the Imperium to realize that it wasn't actually over and that marines would continue to fall to corruption even without the driving charisma of Horus or the other primarchs. I'm curious if the topic has ever been touched on in the literature.

As an aside, another question. Did any loyalist Heresy veterans ever fall later? It feels like the kind of irony 40k would have.
