The first time I posted this a few pages back,
the imageshack pictures disappeared,
so I am reposting this.
Tomorrow, I am going to post up tank lift by fire,
and then, tank beating with a leather mullet.

Here's a real easy little doodaddy.
I've been doing the bullet keys for thirty forty years.
First saw my grandfather using it on his 58 OldsMobile,
that woulda been fifty years ago.
He liked to use the .300 Savage round.
My brother's son has that rifle now. A real fine piece.
Charlie liked to braze those old brass keys to the cartridge.
My dad always used the .44 Mag.
That's what this one is.
I've done a lot of variations on the keys.
Oogas, thumbs, different calibers, and on and on.
First cut off the key.
Forgot to take a picture doing it so
I mocked up this shot with my spare key.
I use a thin cutoff wheel on a high speed die grinder.
Or, you can hacksaw it in a matter of less than a minute.
.
.
Next, below,choose your bullet.
Remove powder, primer, drill it out, and tap it.
Be careful here.
Don't blame me if you shoot yourself in the foot.
Go to a gunSmith, or a friend that reloads,
if you are not sure of yourself.
I like to tap for 1/4 - 20.
Notice that the soft jaws are in the vise for this operation,
even more important at the key cutting stage pictured above.
.
.
Now I weld the key to a 1/4-20 x 1/2" button head.
Below, the button head is fused to the trimmed down key.
I like a drop of RED loctite when the buttonhead/key
is screwed to the .44 mag.
I need to get a heliarc machine here,
could do a much nicer job on this little ****.
.
.
That's it. Done.
