p.s. I like the shape of that tip a lot.
I already did shorten the wedge as much as I can. its going to need a whole new set of scales. part of it is that I expected to lose more of the tip in the re-grind, and part of it is that I just didn't do so great on my first attempt.

the rod is about the same stiffness as 12AWG.
