Re: Knife Sharpening Steel.

I used to get hassled off a mate for using the slowly softly approach on a steel, he would be 100 miles an hour like a butcher does when he's showing off. Then he used one of my boning knives and wanted to hear real quick how i done it.

Re: Knife Sharpening Steel.

G'day Jock, I spent 4 years as a Slicer on the boning chain. The best steel that you could possibly acquire is an F.Dick Multi cut. This is the steel that I had, the day will come when I get another (unfortunately my father decided that he needed it more then I did). I have since acquired a square ...

Re: Knife Sharpening Steel.

Something with a good name and not too rough, the smoother the better. Some of my knives like to be stropped rather than steeled.

Re: Knives

My collection for the house and general meat work is a mongrel mix of FDick, gi...

Re: 7mm Rem Mag Powder

Mate i havent had the chance to compare 2209 with 2225 but the 2209 was only giving me an AV of 2910 compared to the 3140 that RE-22 gave me.

Re: 7mm Rem Mag Powder

Having only had my 7RM for a few weeks i tried 2209.......... a bit erratic and too slow. No one seemed to have any 2225 so i tried Reloader-22 with excellent results giving me a group of 0.7" with an AV of 3140fps. This is using 140gn accubonds though. Just my 2c worth.

Re: .25-06 Varmint rifle options???

I am biased on my choice because I own two rem 700's and find it hard to find a ruger that im comfortable with. In saying this I havent shot a VT so I cant comment on their performance. But for me its rem all the way, unless your lucky enough to find a Model70 with a heavy barrel such as a stealth.....
