Do a search over on the smokeless side and also look in tips section. Some people use two files, some use only one, with a piece of hard wood under the bullet Doesn't take but a sec or two to get it done. All size mz bullets are done this way, but I believe you can buy a knurling tool if you google it

Save your money and use the files You will not be able to chuck a bullet up to use a knurling tool. They are used on laths. With the files you roll it between them easy to do just keep checking them for size.

There are hand knurling tools Edge had a good explanation on the one he modified. I cant remember who but some is working on the same. The only advantages I can see over the files is more consistency and maybe a larger knurl. Just my 2 cents'

Top, go to the "Tips and Hints" section of the Savage smokeless board and you will find a link containing a detailed description of knurling along with pics that gives step by step instructions on how to knurl bullets.
I have personally knurled close to 90 all copper Barnes TMZs and Spitfires that have given me quite good results and I knurled them by doing nothing more than rolling them between two flat cross cut bastard files.
Some advice. If you are going to give knurling a try by using two cross cut bastard files, by the widest ones you can find as it helps to keep max contact with a wide file VS as narrow one as the standard with file is.
The bottom line is knurling based on my 1st hand experience is a quite simple strait forward process. All you need are two course cross cut flat bastard files, a set of calipers, and a stop watch or similar timing device. All else you need to know you should find in the "Tips and Hints" section I already spoke of.
If you need any other info on knurling, feel free to ask.

What is the reason for a stop watch? With a file on the top and bottom, one you've rolled the bullet 180 degrees, do you try to stop there or continue to knurl over what's already been knurled? Thanks. |
