Rifle Shells

[Cody]

I want to try some rifle pens. Does anyone know where I may find some 308 or 30-06 shell casings? Thanks

The best place is to look in the phone book for a Gun club. If they have a rifle range then you should be able to get some spent shells from them.

There is a guy over in IAP that sells the kit's for like $13.OO.

As I understand it some caution needs to be exercised in drilling out rifle shells, as residual powder and the firing cap can cause a problem. Fingers are to be prized above free shells.

OK dumb question, but I didn't even know you could do this... how does it work?

I have 5 - .308 Win, that I have already drilled and are ready for use. Give me a shout.

Appreciate all the help.

I can hook you up with a few empty, clean, 30/06 casings, they would give you an additional 1/2 length over a .308(.308 is simply a shortened 30/06) if you need/want it.......

If it's a "spent" casing, as in fired already, there's no danger of fire or explosion since everything has already been used up. Live rounds can be used if you pull the bullets using a bullet puller made for this operation and the live primer can be deactivated with a little spritz of WD40 and letting it sit overnight. I hereby DO NOT recommend this activity so that should cover any disclaimers of liability. Bring it to me and I'll dewat them for you if necessary.

I've got some 30-06 brass from my M1 Garand if you'd like. PM me if you're interested.

I think you can buy them preglued. I know it wouldnt be as fun but alot easier
