Re: This looks fun (22 WMR)
I went with the 22 Hornet. Single shot rifle and handloads. Bullet weights from 30gr to 52gr work well. L'ilGun is my powder of choice for the Hornet.

Re: Homemade knife sheath.
piller, your sheath is a lot better than my first couple of attempts.
I used the tops off a pair of old leather engineer boots to make knife sheaths. I sharpened a nail and used it as a punch for the stitches and used monofilament fishing line to sew it all up.

Looks like they "re-discovered" the .351 Winchester Self-Loading.
In the video from the SHOT show, something looked wrong with the AR magazine. Is the 350 Legend a "Long Action" and have to use a AR-10 size receiver?
I'll stick with the 300BLK and 357 Maximum.
