An interesting idea for a tamper...

[iowamike]

alright .38 casing and a piece of antler it is.

I have a .308 spent brass casing that i use when I'm outdoors. Still looking for the right deer antler to size down to add character.

nsfisher: That's usually the way I do it, I have one very large bowl that gets the thumb even.
Hiking or camping usually brings the opportunity to whittle an impromptu tamper from a stick, which is a fun way to spend your time between bowls.

ya even after 24 yrs marriage, wife still says i'm rustic and old fashioned. She says i belong in the 100 yr ago era, I guess i tend to agree. even my way of talking is short an to the point, No frills here

Nah, that doesn't mean you belong hundreds of years ago... you just belong in Oklahoma! 8)

I was using a 500 S&W case the other night might have to add some antler to it that looks pretty nice

Maurizio, of course. Without them, it is very difficult to light a pipe!! :roll:
