A bullet pen I did it my way

[Matt]

Nice pen there.... I've got a lot to learn!

 

[Jim]

Looks super Woody, very nice idea with the way you done the clip, i like it ..

 

[turnaround360]

very very nice and a hidden clip even better was it Ed or Paul that tryed it last week anyway now you can do a hidden clip well done Woody cracker.

 

[Penpal]

Like the clip 100% the positioning of the clip timber and cartridge a combination that offers more than some competes with the others.

OK, this is by far "The Best" bullet pen I've seen because of the exact fit between the cone and the bullet neck. I do not know how did you do that. I always found that the diameter of the bullet neck was not the same as the cone nib.
Do you mind sharing?
It is possible there was an explanation in somewhere but after five vodka tonics and browsing Menorca holidays ... I do not care :). I just booked one in end of May...

Tip sizes in slims and other kits like euros differ in size could have used another kit.

That is the first one I have done that fits exact the tip of the case can be opened up with a bit of friendly persuasion by first heating it up and gently tapping a dolly in the end much like you do with copper pipe when plumbing or put a centre punch in the hole which is firmly fixed in the vice and gently heat with a blow torch and tap away on the outside till it opens up to the size you want hope that helps

Thanks, I've got to try that method as well.

What cases are you using

 

[ZuluTiming]

I have two types, 7.62 and .308 Winchester which I believe are interchangeable, or same calibre, could be wrong though as I know squats about guns. Anyway, the casing on unused .308 W is 8.54 mm.
I went and measured the Euro tip which I was using to try and fit into the casing and the tip is a bit bigger at 9.1 mm. What should I have done, and I've just tested it, was to use Slimline tip which fits at 8.52.
So, turnaround360 is correct. The tips on Euro and Slimline are not the same.

they are made by this company Sellier & Bellot - Your ammunition company

If any one wants to identify the head stamp on cases this is the best site Headstamp Codes - International Ammunition Association has most of them on there

I always wondered what the numbers mean, now I can read them. Thanks for the links.

 

[bellringer]

the number should mean the year or the date but in your case it the date

 

[bellringer]

Were did you buy the cases from if you don't mind me asking

 

[ZuluTiming]

I bought them Here. They are unprimed and look new.
