[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3085996, member: 15054"] I do not know what drill bits you would need to measure the case. I made a bullet mold from 2 aluminum blocks and used a drill bit that I ground to the size I wanted it to be. Ground it on a bench grinder. then chucked it into the dripp press and took a sharpening stone to it to get the final last thousandths or 2 ground out of it. I also changed the nose profile of the bit to mimic the bullet shape I wanted. See where I am going. That is what I would do in a nutshell. You could even make one from teflon or very hard wood I would think. You could use bullet tipped sanding rolls to get the final size.. or possibly cratex bullet points as they come in all kinds of shapes. But if the one in the link is it that sure would be easier.
