Got some cool PR from Jeff-in-Indiana a while back. And one of the pieces fell on the floor and broke :mad: Well I had enough left for this one. Enjoy (kit from Woodzone in Columbia)

I like the blank, but I agree it does appear a little long. I have done 12 of these and I like them with the shortest length in the directions. that's just my opinion of course, the first I did looked like a rocket instead of a bullet. LOL.

Yeah, I went with the 1/2 way point on the blank. It said 1 1/8 to 2" and mine is a hair over 1 1/2. Thanks, it was fun anyways and if I really need to, I can shorten it.

I completed twelve of them. Six had a long point on them. I took all six of those apart and shortened the nose. Your point needs to be thinner. I like the way you finished your brass.
