Very nice indeed.
Really like the looks/effect of veining (second from right is super).
I haven't attempted veining yet, but hoping to get with another knife maker soon and get some hands on...

Unique has been a great powder in my 30-06 using same mold.

TNFrank has it right. Wild dogs, wolves, and yotes will do the same thing.

Thanks for the complements gentlemen.
The blades and tempering were not done by me so I have no idea of the precess used.

The blanks were made by a custom knife maker in Texas.
The deal was I finish both, keep the D2 for doing the 440c.

Very neat idea, nice work;).
Curious on what you used to tan the snake hide.
My secret ingredient is PGA mixed with glycerin.
The alcohol pulls the moisture from the hide and the glycerin keeps it...
Sound advice.
Also agree with using a softer alloy for hunting.
I use air cooled for hogs and the exit wound is not much bigger than a nickel.
I purchase a Ranch dog mold, cast 360gr weight for my Marlin.
Air cooled, not sized over 42gr of H4895 groups well enough to knock pigs down @ 100yds.
I have a 405 & 500 grain mold, but the 360 is...

I hadn't thought about that one Charlie;)
J.B. weld is good stuff.
Since nobody mentioned it, golf club epoxy (black) or original Brownell's accu-glass.
I found a post on a knife forum where they tested a lot of epoxies and other...

Talking a customer through an OS reinstall.
At least you didn't get hurt.
Never will forget when my son squirted me with the hose, while I was casting :shock:

Hi Kevin,
H4895 & Varget will probably burn too slow for a 15' barrel.
M.D. Smith list the following loads for 460 S&W.
