use the top tube and a centre band to measure the length required for the blank
[ATTACH]8071[/ATTACH]

Cut the blank to that lenth, drill the hole and glue in the brass tube. The tube won't go all the way through so keep it at one end. Then when the glue is dry, square off the ends

I have made some bushes up from another cartidge; one has a piece of the tube projecting from it which will be used to go in the end of the blank where there isn't any tube and the other bushing has a part with no tube that will become usefull later.

Mount the blank in the madrel and turn it down to the bushes

Mark on the blank the amount of blank to remove that will fit inside the top of the bullet.

Turn that wood off the blank down to the tube

turn the bushing around so that the tube fits into it and polish the blank or finish with ca etc.

Now expand the hole in the clip so that it fits over the 7mm tube.
