What is the default max ammo for a scout rifle in Destiny?
My Destiny character (a Human Titan) has picked up some armor that allows you to carry extra Scout Rifle ammo. Without any additions, what is the maximum Scout Rifle ammo I can carry? Does it vary by race or class? Is there a chart online that shows per weapon?
I am also unclear if this bonus means a larger magazine (more rounds before reloading, 14 for me) or a larger capacity (more rounds I can pick up, no limit I can see, around 350 is my high water mark).
By comparison, my Sniper Rifle holds 3 rounds in the magazine, but only 16 total. I can walk over stacks of green glowing boxes, but I am constantly told my Special Weapon Ammo is full. Now, if I can get THAT as a bonus, it would be of much greater value to me.

The amount of ammo a gun can carry isn't the same for all guns in the same class - it varies by the weapon. Typically, if a weapon has a lower impact (i.e. does less damage), it will have a larger magazine and hold more ammo in reserver than a weapon with a higher impact.
You can use the Armory on Bungie's website to see all of the items available in the game (and some that aren't available as of this writing). For example, here are all of the scout rifles in The Taken King. The site doesn't show how much ammo is in reserver for each weapon, but it does show the magazine size (in general, the larger the magazine size the more ammo you can hold for that weapon).

Why do I have infinite ammo in Destiny?
This was a problem exclusive to Destiny 2, as Destiny did have Primary Ammo Synthesizer as a resource. However, in that game, it was underutilized as Primary ammo drops were plentiful. Bungie changed this in Season of the Lost, making it so primary weapons had an infinite ammo supply.How do you get unlimited ammo in Destiny 2?

Scout Rifles are a class of primary weapon featured in Destiny and Destiny 2. Scout rifles are semi-automatic precision weapons that fire one round every time the trigger is pulled, considering the magazine is not spent.Destiny 1 - Max ammo on auto rifles
