'RichWIS' deserves credit for offering the insight into the 'bevel' on .30-40 brass, earlier in this thread.

(We get so close to it, we take the 'bevel' for granted. It never entered my mind that Hornady Brass might be different).


'GunGrunt' - You could easily sell some of your 'stepped' (USMC style) Krag blades, on the KCA Forum.


Paul - You are starting to sound like Rudyard Kipling:

"When 'arf of your bullets fly wide of the ditch,
        Don't call your Martini (Krag-Jorgensen) a Cross-Eyed Old Bitch.
She's as human as you are ... just treat her as such,
         and she'll fight for the young British Soldier (Yankee Soldier)".
