Another variation on a knife I have made a few times now. I am going to have to come up with a name because I think I will be making a few more soon.
Second time working with VG10 Damascus steel. The layers are slightly off centre which is a bit of a pain. Luckily it has enough core steel to...
Yes, I carry one in my kill kit. Its the best I have found for field sharpening. I have loaned it to a few people and at least one went out and bought their own after using mine.
I had a gunsmith do it. You COULD do it yourself with just a file, but I wanted it to look as good as possible, so had it done by someone who can drive a mill.
So this is another version of the knife I made last year. I wanted to see what I could do with the profile.
I bought a set of Chinesium handle scale material that is supposed to glow in the dark, so thought it might make a a handy knife for breaking down animals if you are taking a shot on...
Years ago getting ready for a hunt in Namibia I tried 180gn interbonds and accubonds in a 300 magnum. I wasnt happy with the accuracy of the interbonds, so went with the accubonds. The accubonds performed great on the hunt, and have been one of my favourite bullets since then.

You probably wont have a big problem with once fired brass, but you could. A couple of times I have had problems trying to chamber old brass in a new barrel, even after resizing it in a FL die. I would definitely start with new brass for what you are describing.
Necking up from 30 cal to 338 is...
I just finished the handle and put and edge on this yesterday, though really did most of the work last year. I guess you call it a "survival knife". I made it as an attempt at a "one tool knife" for the bush.
The blade is 5.5mm 8Cr14MoV which is a cheap Chinese stainless steel that I used for...
If you dont know the story of Harry Wolhuter and his "lion killer" knife, its definitely worth a read: https://southafrica.co.za/legend-of-harry-wolhuter.html
The knife itself was made by Thomas Williams Butchers Cutler in London and was from a pattern commonly used for slaughtering sheep in...
If Form released "Elk Blood", all you guys would be posting multiple times a day arguing about what color the can should be and when the preorders go live.
