Hi, Guys, I have just prepped 120 .338 Lapua magnum brass cases.
I would like to make a couple of pens from some of the cases I have bullets for them. I know some of you do this could you advise me on the best way to turn them into pens.

I think the easiest way is to turn a wooden sleeve to fit inside the trimmed case, I do this with the .500 nitros.....cut some groove's and just glue in.:thumbs::thumbs:20180604_151159.jpg

Another method is to use real bullet heads and either slimline kits or cigar kitsIMG_20180802_182019.jpg
You need to glue a tube into the bottom of the case.....I fill with resin then drill back out and glue a tube in....I find that easiest:thumbs::thumbs:
