Did you use a musket nipple or a #10/#11 nipple?

#11

be sure if you do this process that you wear a heavy glove or hold the case with a tool. they can go off from the heat of the cutter.
don't ask how i know. Deerstalker AKA Stubbie.

Yes, it is done safely. Or you could pinch it with a cutter and bend it off. Using a small punch to round the case back out.

The wings look really nice and professional but wouldn't it be OK to just cut the case a little shorter? There would still be the case rim to help handling and removal. Thanks for this ideal.

The Wings provide support around the area where the nipple is seated. sometimes two strikes but they do work. Also acts as a containment area around the nipple.

Sure are interesting times. I remember when we could not get .22, now we cut them up for caps. ; )
