The good bit. Sorting the bullets out in a collet chuck worked and I was able to set the depth so it was repeatable.
Bad bit. It,s not going to work the case is too short to accommodate the refills. I might be able to do something if I can find out what the thread is on the transmission but up to now I have drawn a blank.
Anyway, some pictures of where I am currently at.
As you can see from the picture even if I cobbled two cases together the ink refill is still going to be too long.

The one in front is a .308 you can see the difference in length.

So it's back to the drawing board I am afraid.

My pen that lives on me uses lamy M22 fine refills, aa battery for scale.

Maybe a different refill is the way to go. Afterall, you have a lathe, adapt and overcome. Why be restricted? Image

if you do buy a couple, and they aren't what you're after, I'll have them off you as long as they are the black and fine type like the above is.

What do you use it for is it a common thread. If I have measured it correctly it's likely I will be using it a lot. If I have not measured it correctly it's back to the drawing board and I will have wasted the price of a set of taps and a die.

No, it is not that common.

amongst other things I use 8x0.75 for my OAL gauge for the tube and ends, this also means the cases are tapped to the same thread. I also use this thread for a revolver modification. Would you like me to run a tap up something and post it to you to use as a gauge?

I only use Volkel taps which work very well and tap to size.
