Nice job did you use a milling machine or by hand.

To be honest i can't remember for sure as this one was done quite a while ago but probably by hand as these things are so small its hard to clamp them securely in a vice to mill. The bigger .50 cal rounds I've done a few of, with those the bullets i do on the milling machine but the cases i do with hacksaw.
