I am finally going to start trying my hand at making my own bullet pens. I've been practing on some 6mls my brother had around not using. Thanks to someone's idea about using an old adjustable mandrel. Soldering in the tips was not going well. So talked to my brother again. He will let me use his reloader -0) I just have to buy the dies. Almost $40 here in town!?!?
So went to eBay...now I need advice. Is it ok to buy used, does brand matter? Anything to look for? It's .243 shells and I only intend to make pens not actually reload.
A friend gave me nearly 200 brass casings and another will clean them for me so I think this is my last hurtle. ( ok still gotta get the soldering down for the twist mech. I know, ;( )
