Each to their own ,come close as a younger bloke to getting a tatt but real reason is I am too tight with money! but will spend on guns, I would get a rifle engraved before getting myself tattooed, a few mates have them but not for me, but if you want one go for it!

Why would I want to sell them? any way Bertram make bullets and brass, Woodleigh can be found so all good, I also have a Westley Richards 318 Accelerated Express rifle so a Winchester 1895 in 318 is a good project I think...

It is a rare calibre but I've got 100 x Kynoch 250g cartridges also Bertram 318 cases and 250g bullets and 100 Woodleigh 250g , so hard to get but its still out there...

I thought I would check my other rifles for this "thumb cut out/gas escape" topic, My Westley Richards 318WR on a 1953 commercial FN mauser action has the cut out but can not stripper clip load, My Mauser style CZ 550 Safari Magnum in 375H&H has no cut out but does have a bit of a gap inside...

Bertram Brass I have used in 470 Nitro and 318 Westley Richards with no problems, I believe Kynoch in the UK use his brass also.
