Nice work @joelhenton .do you have anything inside the pouch to separate/hold the rounds or are they just sitting in there?

Thanks Hamish! It's not perfect but I am very happy with it.

@hunter Al.7mm08 I have used a plastic insert from a box of PMC 223. It's the perfect size.

Yeah it would have no doubt been a bit easier to work with if I had. It's 3mm leather I got from NZ Leather Suppliers. I will make an 8 round pouch for my 7mm-08 when I get some free time.

Thanks,
Joel

Looks the part next to your pro-grade work Hamish! @HNTMAD

Nice work @joelhenton... looks very professional !
You'll be looking for more stuff to make now and before you know it everything will have a leather pouch ... Lol

You been making anything new @hunter Al.7mm08 ?
Expanded any more on the modular theme ?

Are these any good for any leather smiths out there...??

Old leather cut for reins, never being used. Would need a good oiling.

Could be used as good belt leather..??

PM to discuss if interested...

I like the pig carving , very cool !

Got asked to make a pair of sheaths for a friends sons for xmas.Ones a pig hunter the other wants to be a shepherd,thought I'd personalize them a bit.Have covered the initials incase they are members.
