[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2758535, member: 17722"] Thank you for the response. Got me really interested. I cranked out a jig to hold the loaded round I can chuck up in the lathe. I have no idea how far from the tip to cut the annular ring and how deep. Picked a random distance from jig end, 0.400 on this pass and 0.008 deep. The jig; basically, I turned down and dialed a barrel drop, drill/ream then ran the reamer through. Much like a chambering job. Threaded the end and made cap to screw on to the jig to allow the round to bottom out against the shoulder. Sample round is a M118 LR with 175 SMK. I will test ammo next day or two to see how they group on paper. I won't be hunting any time soon.

Can't call them nose ring, that's DT's trademark. Or if y'all have preferred projectiles, I can process some. I can hold them in an ER32 collet chuck, then chuck the collet in the lathe. Just let me know how far from tip and how deep. If interested holler. [/QUOTE]
