Has anyone recently tried the Corbin knurling machine? I ordered one years ago but the order got lost. Mr. Corbin was nice enough to personally call to explain the mixup. Since then I've been doing well with files, but this machine would be uniform and can do bullets from 22 cal through 75 cal.

That was not a typo. You have to kneel while you knurl. Darn auto-correcting programs

Hey, loser, just keep using your files. You don't shoot enough knurled bullets now to justify the cost. And stop starting threads that are so boring that not even one person is interested enough to respond.

Cowhunter I don't know about you...... Cow hunting sounds expensive to me and a good way to lose hunting privelages. However a freezer full of rib eyes would be nice. But the real red flag is when you start talking to yourself in your own thread.  |

Cowhunter is one of a kind! I was trying out this kneeling machine and now I think I need a chiropractor! I built my own tool so sorry I can't say as to the one you're talking about but I like it better than files!

Mine looks very much like the creation rambler posted in new builds/ideas thread. I bought the knurling wheels just because they are cheap from china so I didn't have to make my own and then harden them.

Smokelessindian, wild feral cow hunting in Hawaii is legal and is even being promoted by their DNR. While not as devastating as wild hogs they can still munch a lot of state forest which the DNR is trying to protect. Supposedly now California is having a problem with them also in some areas.

Interesting. Californians probably think they taste bad and are probably protected by state laws. I have no doubt the Hawaians are eating theirs though. When a baby calf hits the ground alive here it's worth $400 Food for thought |

The only bad problem is hiking in to find them and the having to pack out the meat. It ain't like hunting in the winter in the northern US. Your on a volcanic island (steep hills) that on a cold day is in the 70s. Maybe Cowhunter will share some stories.

I "knew" a guy way back on a trad bow site that made his own beautiful bows to hunt them with. Wild cows will stomp you to smush.

I have heard that feral donkeys have become a problem in Australia but had never heard of feral cows before. I wonder how long before an escaped cow is considered feral in these places.

In 1793, George Vancouver presented King Kamehameha I with four cows on a ship that landed at Kealekekua Bay on the Big Island (good fishing outside that bay). The king put a "Kapu", meaning taboo behavior, on killing cattle. Anyone caught killing cattle was killed themselves. The cows were left to breed and by 1830 there were vast herds roaming the island. These "Vancouver" cattle sported huge wide horns. Some bulls apparently became quite a nuisance and would chase and terrorize the natives who stumbled into their territory. There is a story about a village that was terrorized by a great bull that impaled a man. The man's carcass apparently got stuck on the horns for some time, serving as a kind of warning to other natives. In 1830 the King brought in Portuguese cow handlers, who are the ancestors of the "Paniolo" -- Hawaiian Cowboy. There are still some of these Vancouver bulls in some of the forests, and they are still big and fierce. However, the cows we hunt are mostly Angus and Herford cows that simply walked through the fences and down into the Forest Reserve. These critters are quite clever and can walk into and through some very steep canyons and rivers. They have tons of grass and other things to eat, but they also eat the baby Koa trees and other native plants, so they have a year-long death sentence on them. To get to the best cow hunting, you can hike up to four miles through a thick forest. More recently, the DLNR, realizing few people were hiking after the cows, have started taking hunters into the best areas so that they don't have much hiking to do.

I've told that story for 25 years. I wonder how much of it I've made up. Have you ever shot a cow, cut him up, put him in a pack, then into freezer bags that night? You can do it with Axis deer but with cows you have very chewy meat. You run out of pressure cooker recipes.

Never shot and processed one like that. I grew up in Iowa. My ex in-laws were full time farmers. We killed and slaughtered lots of cattle and countless hogs. I loved it. However we'd always let the beef and pork hang in a cooler for a week or so and then butcher it up into select sizes. I have just one recipe for steak...rare with knife and fork |

Need to feed them grain and get them baited in for a firing squad. That works well for hogs and they are way smarter than cattle |

Finally remembered to post this. Take it easy on me I don't hardly ever use it and it was thrown together just to test some sabot options. I found it right next to the ryobi tools at lowes....   |

Is this a Corbin or one you invented? If you made it you qualify as a metal wizard in my book. Ryobi never made anything that sturdy.
