Bullet art?

[dailordasailor]

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

Have them mounted to the mount backing board, together with date and place of taking the trophy.

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 noticed this one on here a couple of years ago and saved it.

I like that. Maybe my shoulder mount needs a proper necklace

I have been waiting to recover the perfect bullet from something my wife shoots, and have one made for her; but so far no luck.

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.
