need a favor from a reloader (.30-06)

[Nick]

ok, here's the deal:
this past season I shot my first deer ever. I have the empty cartridge. I would like to make it into a key chain. I have a 9mm bullet I did like this already, so I know the process, i just need someone with a "uh oh" extractor hammer and a press.

I would like to take a new, unfired cartridge and extract the projectile. De-prime the original cartridge (the fired primer), then stuff the cartridge with epoxy, seat the projectile previously extracted from the new cartridge, then I can manipulate a paperclip bent just right into a loop to serve as a keychain...

what you get out of the deal? I'll show you how to make a keychain lol.... you can have a new, never fired and already primed factory Winchester brass powder and all, less the projectile.

this is nothing more than making a memento and wouldn't take but about 10 minutes total if you equipment is available.

Instead of a paperclip, you could use something a little more robust like one of these screw eyes from a local hardware store, and thread it into the flash hole.

ETA: I'd do it for you, but dont have an '06 die set.

good idea..... now, who has the equipment to help me out

appreciate the suggestion and willingness to help

if no one else can, I will get puller that I just loaned to friend in Mississippi back later this weekend.

 

[Nick]

cool.... this is not a rush, just something I'd like to do before I misplace the cartridge or shoot all of the original box (which I can't seem to find anymore of at this time)

bring me ur brass and ill just load it without powder and drill it for you, takes about 5 mins.

 

[Nick]

Cool. I'll send you a pm when I get the time to head to your neck of the woods.

I don't have a puller but I do have the press and dies. Have several different brands of .30 cal. bullets that we may be able to match to yours.

I've got the puller collet and everything if you find yourself down this way before too long.
