[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1510899, member: 4191"] If you own a welder, I recommend you fasten the ball bearing to a 3/8" or 1/2" thick section of steel plate. Chasing the ball bearing around gets old. I should have done this years ago. Just never got to it. I've got a number of casings to restore. Could spend more time chasing the ball bearing than hammering. I'm also going to try to salvage some primer pockets on quite a number of .223 Rem cases, for the first time. Will use a .225" diameter Grade 8 bolt, only 1" longer than the case length. Hoping it won't bend before the primer pockets are snugged up. [ATTACH=full]110712[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]110713[/ATTACH] That's a 3/8" thick steel plate. A 3/4" ball bearing. Welded with a MillerMatic 200 wire feed welder, using ER70-6S carbon steel wire, and 75/25 welding gas. Two nickles placed in the 2nd photo for purposes of adding scale to this high tech setup. I'm an amateur welder with no formal training, but I feel certain this ball bearing will never roll again, [FONT=Tahoma][B][I]EVER[/I][/B][/FONT]! Earthquake proof! [/QUOTE]
