Nice cartridge's Mark look forward to seeing the finished pens. Wish I had kept all my spent cartridges from my days of shooting I have only 2 left in my shed a .243 which is probably too small and a .270 Winchester magnum which would probably make a small pen used to have access to many unusual rounds or at least the spent rounds as we used to get the German hunters coming over to hunt Red Deer and some of them had cartridges designed I am sure for Elephant hunting although I am pleased to say not used for that purpose.

I have bought unused 223 ,and a few other sizes, my gunsmith mate will neck them for me and he has a gigantic compresser and device for super polishing them. I bought some spray especially for metal standing by. The cartridges are unprimed, I will ask him if its OK to bring Mark around to his when he visits soon his eyes will go like saucers when he sees his workmanship.
