A short video of how I make bullet pens

Woody · May 8, 2016

I made two bullet pens today and have had a few request for a video of how I make them I'm not saying this is how it has to be done just how I do it I know some of you do it a different way to me like Bill mooney so perhaps some of you could share how you do it I just thought some of you new guys might be interested and want to know how its done I hope it is of some use to someone enjoy

Great video Woody, you make it look dead easy and I wouldn't mind giving it a go but where do you get the bullet cases from?

I got mine from Young Alex he is a member on here but you should be able to get some from any rifle range or club

Great Video Woody, Nicely Made :thumbs:

Sometimes the dent in the primer is so far off that I could never get a centered hole.
I then started to put them in the metal lathe and turn a small tapered blind hole in the end of the shell.
The 7mm drill would then start off in the center.
THEN I found that if you look inside the shell, the primer has a ''built in'' center.
I now put the shell in the chuck ''backwards'' and drill from inside the shell.
Works for me every time.

Morning Woody question mate I have never seen such a handy chuck key for the drill chuck tell me more about it because it looks a real knuckle saver.. What size cartridge case do you use?

Hi Peter the chuck key is from mt Axminster 4 jaw chuck I mislaid the original key and discovered that this one fitted the cartridge cases I use are 308 mate

Thanks Woody I am impressed by that key. I am still a babe in the woods re cartridges, sizing etc spent some time working 222 cases inherited 150 larger ones new in parcels no firing pin will look them up they came with a heap of other stuff in a pick up when a mate was leaving town he sold the lot for a fair price. The info was very helpful for me.

Woody I looked at the key on the Axi site I do believe I can make the Tee bar myself and weld the bottom of a conventional key thanks again.
