Not sure where to post this so started here...

I have 4 375 bullets from our hunt in australia and cant figure what to do with them... Having a buff shoulder mounted and 2 euros done. My google search didnt pop up any cool ideas. How are you guys displaying used bullets? I know i can pour them in epoxy but just a bullet in a chunk of epoxy seems boring.

Thanks,

Dale
 
I don't recover very many but I will use a thin piece of leather like a shoelace and hang them from the horn of the animal if possible. Keeps them together and tells a story. Plus you can actually handle them if needed
 
Thank you both. K-man, any pics?

Following one of the few occasions on which a bullet was recovered, I glued the bullet and an empty case onto a small board and placed it beneath the mount. Later added a small plaque engraved with the date and distance.
 
In my mind now I’m thinking drill small hole in back of bullet, epoxy in string, hang from mount. Wouldn’t call that art but it’s something lol.

Our Australian guide was big on recovering bullets. I think he just liked cutting open animals…
 
Good or bad, I have an idea, make a necklace with the recovered bullet and hang on the mount.
 
I like that. Maybe my shoulder mount needs a proper necklace
 
I’m curious about this as well, I tell the skinners I will pay them 5$ US for every bullet they recover. So far it’s cost me about 30$. I need to find something to do with them other than just laid out on a back skin.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
