    New Barrett Fieldcraft

    Have someone film you ejecting, I have had a couple rifles do this and each time the spent brass was hitting the scope turrets and falling back into the action. When filmed and watched in slow motion I could see what was going on.

    Recoloring velvet stripped/spoiled antlers, how to: trial and error edition

    Get some potassium permanganate, use gloves, goes on purple but looks natural once dried. The porus antler will suck in wood stain and can end up too dark. Google the above and I'm sure you can see several on you tube.

    OMG...Now what?

    Cut resistant gloves, meat hooks, and sharp blades,, all make it so much safer. Meat thermometer and extra game bags help manage meat too. I like to unbag at night and allow the meat to breath, but have to be up before the bugs and birds and get the bags back on.

    OMG...Now what?

    They do love the water.... We always have a small come-along and synthetic rope. Come-along is handy in many ways. Another swimmer, come-along used again. Butchering in ice cold water sucks.......So much nicer to winch them dry.

    Fillet Knife for Meat Processing

    I do something a bit different, I use an electric fish fillet knife for removing silver skin and skimming off the crust on my game meat. This works better with less waste than any other way I've tried.

    Reloading question. brass issue.

    Are you crimping? How many firings on the brass? I think that the brass has become work hardened and is the neck is too tight. The hardened brass is not expanding and hot gasses are being forced back between the neck and the chamber. This would explain why only a couple of the more hardened...

    Where to get a scapula?

    I like using a white gallon antifreeze container, with the bottom cut out. Sounds much better than when I used the quart container on a stick and it can be used as an antler and to aid hearing. Works like a charm.
