Excellent ! I tried making one myself awhile back. I couldn't get the antler shaped right to fit the cartidge, but I was using a 30-06.

Maybe I just need to try it with a .44.

What is yours ? .357?

 

[buckeye]

45 long colt. i use a disk sander to reduce the antler so the casing fits.

Nice. I wanted to use a cartridge I fired to take an animal with.

I just put an antler tip about the size of a .30 bullet in it, but I couldn't quite get it to fit right in the neck.

Do you use any kind of epoxy to hold it in?
