    Bullet Temperature

    Anyone have any idea on how hot a bullet is when it reaches a target? Is there a formula to figure out what temperature a .22 fired from a rifle at, say, 50 meters would be? And to you handloaders/ metallurgist guys, at what temp does lead melt? Thanks in advance.:D

    Damascus Question

    So I'm looking at my "nothing better to do in the Winter knife project" list, and I found Damascus blanks at Smoky Mountain Knife pretty cheap. I've never worked with Damascus, is there anything I need to know? And what are the benefits of this material?

    C&R Handgun Question

    Khukri Question

    I've recently fallen in love with this design. Where is the best place to get decent ones? I'm not so much worried about top-of-the-line as I am about getting burned on a crap one. Where to look, what to look for?
