Bullet heads for the shooters out there....
I was tying a few bullet head stoneflies the other day and I was looking for a tool to aide in making tight uniform heads. I looked online and found a company out of Oregon that made a tool. I had not seen them in local flyshops and then it hit me.... I have a ton of spent rifle cartridge cases from my rifles so I started experimenting. This is what I came up with.
224. cal. for small yellow sallies sizes up to size 8
257 cal. for size 6-4
277. cal. or 282. for sizes for 4-2
30 cal for sizes 2 and large stremer patterns.
They all worked great and made some great heads.
For safety purposes I have marked these casing I use for this task so they don't make it to the reloading bench form the fly tying bench.
Hope these work for you.
