I keep telling my wife I need a drill press. She won't listen lol. She will say curse words like "sell a 🔫 and buy one" or "Trade some ammo for one" foul mouthed woman! 😂

Wow Elvis you made a fly cutter on the fly pretty cool.

I cut my on also. Loading is my passion. Shooting is my Right !! Take care Bro !!

Me: I need a drill press for reloading. Elvis told me to. Wife: rolls eyes and walks away. Calls friends and says I am talking to Elvis.

Very inventive a great way to save thanks Mr. elvisammo

Never seen that before. Thanks Elvis!

Wow Elvis! That is just the coolest trick! You videos taught me how to scrounge and make do. I set up my whole casting set up from scrap material. From pot and pans to muffin trays ,screen for sifting range scrap, heck brother I even found a way to wash my RS and minimize the dirt to keep the copper for salvage! I ended up with 1000lbs of unable ingots and almost 200lbs of copper which I got money for at the scrap yard and used to buy manuals and powder! I even got my mec600 from cabelas points saved over years so it was free. The fact your doing shotshell stuff now is giving me back that original excitement I got back in the beginning. God Bless you man. Your the Boss!😁👍

Very good tip 👍🏻🇺🇸

I sharpen a copper pipe and punch some out before when I was poor!! Worked in a pinch!!

Hey Elvis a shout out from No York I'm gonna use your idea for my percussion shotguns Yeehaw☺️

I use a paper hole punch with hemp rolling papers for reloading primers.. lol. The hemp rolling papers were just laying around.. 🤭🤫

Using hollow punches is the most common way. I forget who, but someone showed that it works best to clamp the punch in a vise cutting side up, hold your material over it and smack it with a rubber mallet. It'll tear up the mallet over time, but it is much easier than the normal method. I've cut used up plastic gift cards for stiffer spacers. The card will crack outside the punch, but you'll still get several perfect circles. I save those thick cards that Spectrum often sends out for this purpose. They're the right thickness for an overshot card at just over 0.030".

I will try this sometime, hopefully make up a few hundred real quick. I use certain types for top card & roll crimp. Good video & idea 👍🇺🇸

That is a really clever idea! Thanks Elvis!

Clever & inexpensive. Thanks for sharing!

You made a fly cutter.

Thank you for all you do

Thanks Elvis, always love learning new tricks :-)

Ingenious!!!! Processor. Thx for sharing.

Elvis, very,very good ideas

Perfect. Ive been trying to figure something out like this

Great tip Elvis! I use cork and a handpunch for mine.

This is really helpful

Another Elvis ammo brilliant life hack for reloading!! Great tip 👍🇺🇸

VERY COOL HACK ! Thanks for the great tip !

Lol genius

CLEVER!

It never ceases to amaze me how much you and I think alike. I too use my drill press for about everything other than it's intended purpose. Things like chucking up a RCBS primer pocket brush, or the Lee sizer dies to push my bullets thru, cause I don't have the new press. I would probably put my de-buring tool in it if the chuck was big enough. Two 90° bends with different lengths could unlock unlimited possibilities for making circles. Thanks for the inspiration.

USPS to the rescue AGAIN LOL 🍺🥨🍺 FREE cardboard for ALL

Elvis my man!

Wow cool idea. Elvis ingenuity at work. Thank you for the idea. Now I won't have to buy any special tool. You are the man.👍🤩

This is a great idea! Something I could see my MacGyver PawPaw coming up with 😉 e taught me hiw to improvise a tool I need out of other tools LoL its a talent

For me I would go for a hole saw without the center pilot drill bit.

This end product also works for muzzleloading shotgun wadding. Thank you for posting the video.

I use a 1/2" piece of screw pipe sharpened on one end and a hammer to puch them out. Then a screw driver or whatever to push them out of the pipe. You can punch 5 or 6 before you need to push them out. I use cardboard and 1/4" cork.

I use certs breath fresheners without the holes blah 😀

I think a punch would work a lot better. This works and that's fine....but a punch would work much better

Hey Elvis Buddy - thanks for the videoo; that's a good idea; think I'll look around the shop for other things that might work as well. When are you going to make the second part to your nitrocellulose / primer concoction?

Thanks for the video. Watch those fingers, you may want to go shooting later!!!

Was that a MEC nail or Lee? I was expecting something way more sophisticated lol.

Flatten the end of the nail & sharpen it like a knife edge. I'll bet it cuts a whole lot better.

Dang, I like this. I have a punch for the cards and it works great, BUT it's only 1 size. This would make any size I want without having to cough up so many $$$$$ for many sizes of punches! Also would it help if the nail was sharpened up in the direction of the cut? Like a flat knife blade?

15mm punch for nitro & 18 or 19mm for full bore

Using the USPS for free cardboard 👍

Nail? I bought a hollow hole punch back in the 90s. 18mm I think.

That's one ammunition that I do not reload besides 22 is shotgun shells. One thing I have gotten into lately, since my stock of powder is dwindling, I figured out through the research a wax bullet recipe that actually works quite well and is pretty damn accurate and it's powered only by a primer. Which I kust use my strike anywhere match tip primer compound to use. Plus, there's two more awesome bonuses to using wax bullets. One is I can collect the wax and remelt it, and recycle it. Two, this is the big one, you can shoot guns in the house LMAO!!!! My little square pan for bullet wax is a dollar tree 8"x8" baking pan 5/8" deep and once its cooled you take brass deprime it, and you have to drill the flash hole put a bit wider, but I got quite a bit of 45acp brass, so I have 50 wax bullet cases for target practice. Then once deprimed and wax is solidified, you kust push the case in like a cookie cutter, and out comes a perfect wax bullet. The proportions of the recipe are important to keep the wax softer than jist straight paraffin wax which is a pain to clean out of your barrel. I ised 1 pound of paraffin wax, 1/4 pound of bees wax and I used petroleum jelly as the grease and you only add in 1/8 of a pound of it to make the wax pliable enough that it won't locks up your Barrel. Now this wax bullet stuff is usually meant for revolvers I'm sure you know what all this but I'm just putting this out there for anybody that wants to try it too because it does work period and I've been practicing with them putting them in my 1911 and the point of impact is the exact same a regular bullet up to about 25 feet. The ones I've been using work extremely well with that recipe. OneNote I have to put in here, is when you drill out that flash hole you can never use them to load real ammunition again into those particular cases that's the only downside I've come across so far and old Lyman reloading manual from the 60s said not to load real ammunition in the cases you use for wax bullets ever. I didn't want attempt to try and find out why but I'm pretty sure I could guess. LOL so if anybody does attempt that make sure you even more to those cases somehow like on the bottom one of the primer is and be sure to keep four separate from your reloading cases that's what I do. so I don't fuck up.

Sharpen condoit pipe and a hammer

& one !✔

My fuk someone has some time on their hands, 20Ga nitro cards are 10 bucks for 500. You'll spend more money than that in gas to go to the post office for boxes to cut up.

Those are not nitro cards those are just paper in the form of cardboard. In order for it to be a nitro card it has to be that solid, compressed wood fiber paneling type of material that feels like solid wood but obviously is not. Nitro cards need to be hard to handle the pressure.

Well sht
