I was asked by a co-worker if I could make a pen using a casing that was fired at her step-fathers funeral, of course I said I could.
I read the articles in the library and searched the forum and still have questions.
First, how do I remove the crimping? Can I use my set of punches to round the mouth out?
I assume I can use the press fit ring at woodnwhimsies after I round the mouth, right? And then a slimline copper tip from them as well.
Is there any particular way to press the primer out and drill the hole?
I really need to get some to practice on, I'm afraid I'm going to wreck it.
Attached is a pic of what she gave me. It's a 7.62, same as a 30.06 right?
Thanks, Jim
