    Default .50 Cal Bottle Openers

    Just wondering if any one has made a .50 Cal Bottle Opener.
    I would like to know what angle and how deep do you cut the slot into the case?
    .50 Cal cases are too hard to get here , to stuff one up in trial and error.

    Hi wm460,

    My son made me one a while ago. I've just done some measurements and it tells me that the angle is 50 deg, with the cut going through 68% of the casing radius.

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
