cartridge pen

[fernhills]

I wonder if any one knows if PSI `s Rose Gold cartridge points will fit a reg. 30 cal. shell ? It would be nice if they did. I have a 100 count bag of shells i bought at sports store years ago. Thanks Carl

No Carl, they are threaded and will not fit.

No they will not easily adapt.

It is not very dificult to adapt slimline tips to '06 or similar cases.

I just use slimline copper nibs in 30-06 casings. I cut the tips off of .270 casings & use them for a filler in the 30-06 necks. Slimline nibs fit fairly well in the .270 necks.

Ouch for price in the current case supply for 270 cases.

Wood,-n-whimseys sells a bushing for $0.89 that does the same thing. I make them from PSI 8 mm pencil tube cut into 1/4 inch pieces with a dremel and a fine cutoff wheel. If the case has been resized, it may be necessary to slit the piece of 8 mm tube with the dremel and cut off wheel.

I use the 8mm tubes and slide a 7mm tube in that and it works fine and evens up good with a slim nib. I use c/a and fix them in. I might try epoxy next time to give me more time to line them up.
I will try a reg. bullet tip as soon as i get to Cabela`s to pick some up. Thanks for info. Carl

I make mine with cigar pen components such as from WnW with real cases and bullets. This allows me to install Parker style refills.

The thread from a threaded Sierra Transmission works, the thing is Sierra transmissions have threaded couplers and push on type couplers,i cut the tread section off the Trans and use that, sometimes i remove the nib end thread and glue a 7mm brass tube then make a bush to fit case neck. the 30/30 is to show the nib fit's this shell case also

Thanks John, I will try. Carl

I use the actual 30 caliber bullet for the nib. Just get you a box of full metal jacket, boat tail 30 caliber bullets and melt out the lead with a handheld torch, then all u have to do is file the point flat enough to frill a hole for therefill.

How i Removing the thread section from Transmission using chuck and dremel.Any chuck/lathe and handheld dremel would be fine.

I use real bullets for mine, also. However, using 'fake' bullets would allow you to easily make a cartridge click pen.

Also with a threaded nib if you can change a faulty Transmission s/line
