chamfer job(pics added)

i got a 45degree chamfering tool ordered to cut my 38/357's cylinders since im not the best dremel operator. I have seen this tool used befor and while it does cut a good chamfer the chamfer is kinda rough. I think after i cut it I will get a wood dowel rod and shape it the best i can to match the 45degree chamfer and use a little fine lapping compound or toothpaste to smooth it out.

Any DIY guys done this?

I'd like to see how it turns out.

in theroy this should be fairly simple. the tool cost as much as a chamfer job but considering i can do ALL my revos and my dads then the price is taken out of the picture

And mine?

for $20 bucks lol

I assume you are doing the for competition but will you be able to use 9 mm's on a moon clip? I got an old model 64 you can practice on. Worse thing is having to order another cylinder. I want my SP101 to shoot 9mm also eventually.

you want your 38 to shoot 9mm?

I'd like that as well! I've got gobs of 9mm brass and hopefully won't have a 9mm soon!

Pinnacle customs makes a conversion that will let you shoot 9mm $250 I think

End point is 357/9mm out of my SP101.

same thing i said too! lol

i told him just to give me the 357 then buy him a 9mm revo... makes sense to me!

does the chamfer job make loading with speedloaders faster?

Yea there is no 90degree angle for a swc or the case mouth to catch on an if there is any slop on your moon clips it helps things line up

Had seen the $250 or so. Figured Beladran would cut me a break once he mastered the craft. Would like a faster way to reload 357's in it since it only holds 5. Being able to load 9 mm would be a plus since my wife has claimed it (getting old, relatives are telling me I promised them one of my pistols all the time).

hey sid i think you promised me one to lol

ok so this is the befor shot

this after it cut the 45 and started taking out the cut marks.. i found that the nose profile of a 230gr lrn boolet +toothpast+backing soda was a awesome combo lol i drilled a small hole in the center of the base of the bullet and drove a drill bit in it. then chucked it up in my drimel.. the rest is history!

Looks GOOD. Is the case rim still supported well....?

.

yea. i toyed with the idea of a heavier chamfer on the cylinder and light on the extractor. you can kinda see it on the two chambers on the right if you look close
