The first were for my 257 Roberts (couldn’t find factory attachments back then). Most recently I made one for my 257 AI. The only way to get one for a wildcat.

Use the Hardinge tool room lathe here at the shop and the 5c collets. Works slick!

Mini lathe.

You can’t do it with hand tools such as a hand drill to drill out the hole since the hole has to be concentric with the primer hole and the thin primer web makes this very difficult with a hand drill.

I use the Hornady Guage and it works well. Can’t imagine not having one.
