Does anybody out there have any information on how to make a bullet keychain ? The biggest problem that I am having is finding a small loop that can be attatched to the primer hole in the cartridge case so a ring can be attatched. Any help is gratly appreciated

Choices:
loop attatchment
Tap the primer pocket, use threaded loop

 

A lot of guys use a small kotter key for a loop

I've made a few over the years. I just cut a brass fishing barrel swivel in half and solder it in the primer pocket. JB Weld would probably work also.

Send me $5.00 and I'll mail you one and maybe some change. roger

That's what I used when I made some out of S&W 500 brass. I just poked the kotter pin through the flash hole and spread it apart. Set the case on top of the shell holder and seated the bullet then attached the ring.

I just drilled through both sides of the case wall and threaded through there. I now carry a 50 BMG keychain that gets lots of odd looks!
