.177 Hornet crowned

[.45er]

With Rabbits now in Season for 2023 I decided to brave a D.I.Y. crown job. I saw this method on Youtube and decided to give it a go. I used these Brass screws attached to a hand drill.



Took me about ten minutes of circular grinding using 0.5 micron diamond dust paste as a slurry. Weather pending I hope to test it a few times at my Club's indoor and outdoor ranges.

The 17 hornet is actually .172
I used this method to fix the crown on my 264 winchester.
