    Cast bullet sizing trick

    I just found this on youtube.

    Looks like a good trick to make life a bit easier.

    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    I have some spring wire of a couple of different diameters - just a case of winding a bit around the right diameter former. Won't even need heat treating, as it wont be compressed alot, so it could probably be done with any fairly stiff high tensile wire I suspect.
