Thanks everyone yeah I never rember to take pics first it always when I get back to the truck lol

I was cutting at the barrel and I agree shape doesn’t matter. I just like the round ones 🙂

Don’t have a drill press that’s why I went this route. I’m punching through like 6 layers so it goes pretty quick. And the set of punches cost a lot less than the drill bit so I can punch different sizes for different caliber’s if I want. The setup I was using was my first attempt so I can...

Been wanting to make my own precut patches for a while and was trying to figure out a feasible way to do it. I came up with this and it works pretty good. I bought a cheap leather punch set off Amazon $9. Tried just using a dead blow hammer and that didn’t work great. So I borrowed my coworkers...

Thank you for your advice makes since.

Can you take 2f or 3f and make it finer to be closer to 4f? Like using a mortar and pestle

So CCI is standing behind their product and cutting me a check for the primers very easy to work with.

Got a hold off CCI sounds like they are going to work with me

Just bought 1000 cci caps from cabelas received them today. First 8 out of the tin did not fire. I tried 3 different guns. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get my money back cabelas won’t take them because they fall under the ammo no returns policy. So now I have a call into CCI. Attached...

If you have a 3d printer you can print your own jig to make the caps it works well.

I bought it at the trade blanket in Fort Collins. It’s a Caywood also came with a .58 rifle barrel.
