Been working on some designs for bullet pens. So this last weekend I finally got around to drilling and building a .223 and a .270 lower pen pen section. The 270 ran into a major issue pressing in the transmission. Major wrinkles and still didn't get it pressed in far enough. Need to build a better block to support the casing while I press in the transmission.
The 223 came out a bit better. Still have some wrinkling at the mouth of the casing while pressing in the transmission. Not as bad as the 270 but works enough to make sure I have everything figured out right.
Casing is spent brass Winchester 223, projectile is a Hornady GMX .224 and the wood is Chechen.
Comments and criticisms welcome. Also, if you have a idea of how to keep from wrinkling the casing while pressing in the transmission, I'm all ears.
