Just wondering if any one has made a .50 Cal Bottle Opener.
I would like to know what angle and how deep do you cut the slot into the case?
.50 Cal cases are too hard to get here , to stuff one up in trial and error.:goesred:

Here are some photos of the ones I make.

This seems to be the consensus way of making them Mark,it would seem to indicate they work well and do not crush.

Like the both cartridges used but I do believe the 338,s would be much kinder to the pocket.
Thanks Woody as well.
