    Re: sharpening.... We used Victory boners all day in the butchery with only one 5 minute touch up on the stone at lunchtime. That's more work in a day than most hunting knives will see in a long,...

    +2 for the victory knives. I have 5 now including that 4" drop point hunter. For another $30 you can also get a very well made leather sheath. They take an edge easily and hold it well. Not so sure...

    Finally got a day without wind try this. Random ranges from high points on the farm. My 6 year old had to have a go too…wasn’t keen to just have one shot though! Haha. Pretty proud of his efforts,...

    Agree with all the above posters. The Victorinox, Victory, Green river, Mercator, Bahco knives are good performers and cheap. You don't need to pay more to have functionality for hunting at all. ...

    Victory 4" drop point hunter, 6" curved boning knife, or 6" outdoors knife (same as Bushaman's friend). You could buy the 3 and be under $100... 201363 I love the little NZ-made Victory Drop...

    Had to resort to the bell mouth die to get these in which was disappointing. Might give traditional lubing a try with the 460gn. Im forced to seat these so deep i can only fit 40.3gn of 2207 in the...

    I dont believe theres any need for gas checks under around 15-1600 fps, gas check bullets shoot as well without the gas check as flat base do.

    Righto! Finally got out today and only had a mild tail wind, 1000hpa, 19deg. Slight rain but meh. This was to see if using the mandrel made a difference. Also checking if my new sizing die affected...
