You can even cast them in the core of a toilet paper roll! Tip: use up the toilet paper first!

I made a .375 275gr flat point not long ago. Turned the cherry..but didnt flute it. Left it as turned.
Then went to my buddies shop, where I stuck it between two chunks of aluminum with matching .357 grooves..and put the whole thing in his
200,000 lb testing hydraulic press and smooshed em together pretty good.Came out just dandy. Needed some squaring up of the edges of the block though.
Makes a nifty bone breaker on hogs, out of a .375 H&H, cast from wheel weights.

Now, that is the smart way to do it! Alas I have no access to such a powerful press.
cheers T.Alan
I wonder if it takes that many tons. If life isn't too hectic tonight, I'll try to press a carbide drill shank between two blocks of aluminum and report back.
Wes
Oh well. 25 tons didn't do all that much.
Wes
Nope.
Did you put a close undersize groove in the two halves?
That helps emmensly.
And dont use 6061 T6..for that small a load..it needs to be dead soft.

"If thy pride is sorely vexed when others disparage your offering, be as lamb's wool is to cold rain and the Gore-tex of Odin's raiment is to gullshit in the gale, for thy angst shall vex them not at all. Yea, they shall scorn thee all the more. Rejoice in sharing what you have to share without expectation of adoration, knowing that sharing your treasure does not diminish your treasure but enriches it."

I have see them out of aluminum and meehanite. I'm able to product blanks molds housing if anyone wants them...
