By the way, I only found one YouTube video where a guy makes his own socket. It was one of those Russian videos and he used a CNC machine to do all the hard parts. There were ZERO DIY ammo can videos.
No i meant run a bead the entire length of the inner sections. You (for future reference) could have beveled the inside sections, to run a bead that would not affect the I.D, once completed. Giving it a little more strength, when needed to put some torque, on it
But the best part of fabbing something is stepping back, and saying. Oh i could / should have done x , instead of this.

Like the loc nut wrench i made for the dillon dies. Looked at some scrap i had, did a layout of the basics, then went to town.

Instead of cutting the wrench flat on the bandsaw, then hand filing to fit. I said, afterward. Oh i could have done that wrench on the mill. Next time, maybe. Either way nice jon
