For someone with time and a drill press

Mr H · May 9, 2015

I have a non-firearms project where I am not equipped to handle a piece of it.

It's unusual, but if anyone can do the following, I can pay in ammo:

I need a dozen .40SW bullets (FMJ, just the bullet), with a hole drilled centered in the base of each, 3/16" wide by 3/8" deep.

This is not a terribly time-sensitive thing, though I do need to complete my end of this in time for Christmas.

Any help will be appreciated.

A machine shop with a lathe and collet chuck would make quick and precise work of that.

Oh, I'm sure... But just wanted to see if anyone here could help and get some (oh, I don't know) 22LR out of the deal!!

I have a drill press and an old craptacular lathe. I might be able to help you out. I'll pull a bullet tomorrow and give it a test run.

I was thinking something would be needed to counter balance the other side of the tree.

Maybe nine .45 caliber bullets.

Aren't you going to need a bigger hole for the garlic?

Not needed. It's a well known fact in the Vampire Killing Community that .40SW is the only slug that will kill that bastids garlic-free.

Stupid question.
Would 3/8 deep go thru a FMJ? Not familiar with .40 bullets?

Are you tapping the holes?

It will be close, I think. Even 1/4" will work, I'm sure.

But if this works, it'll most likely be with epoxy.

Not 40, and not FMJ. But any chance a .358 lead hollow base wadcutter would work for you?

Hopefully this will do it.

Thanks to all. I love this place.

A) Didn't know there was such a thing

B) It's MDS... When it has to be .40, it HAS to be .40... LOL!!!!

There isn't much MDS can't do. I think if someone needed 80lbs of cotton candy and a bounce castle, a member here would be all over it, lol

You're probably gonna have to think harder. I have a bounce castle. Unless my niece and nephew destroyed it, which is a distinct possibility. I also have a cotton candy machine.

Some times, you might not want to admit that sort of thing.......

A friend of mine has a cotton cand machine and a friend of my wifes rents bouncy castles. I got a line on animals for a small petting zoo also.

Well the Doc beat me to it.

Gotcha. And yeah, not knowing nor asking your application, I thought that might be the case with the HBWC. A once common and back in the day thing. Got reminded in a revolver thread last night how OLD I am. Wise ass kids....

Good luck with your project!
