Brass — the standard gold-toned slice, polished to a bright finish. Most versatile for jewelry — bullet earrings, pendants, bracelets, and necklace charms. Textured back for gluing or smooth back for soldering, depending on your project.
Nickel-Plated — silver finish, corrosion-resistant, and visually distinct from brass. Popular for mixed-metal jewelry and pieces where a silver tone suits the design better than gold.
Steel — harder, darker gray material. More industrial look, used in steampunk projects, military-themed pieces, and mixed-media art where brass would be too polished.
Aluminum — lightweight, matte silver finish. Ideal for larger-format slices where weight matters — .45 ACP and .308 aluminum slices are significantly lighter than their brass counterparts.
Deprimed vs. Intact Primer — Which Do You Need?
Intact primer — the spent primer remains in the center. Gives a two-tone look (gold or silver primer against the brass face). Most popular for earrings and pendants where the primer detail is visible and adds visual interest.
Deprimed — primer removed, leaving a clean center hole. Preferred for resin pours (pour resin through the hole), crystal settings, wire wrapping, and any application where you need an open center.

What’s the difference between deprimed and intact primer slices? Deprimed slices have the primer removed, leaving a clean center hole useful for resin pours, crystal settings, and wire wrapping. Intact primer slices retain the spent primer — a two-tone metallic detail many jewelry makers prefer for earrings and pendants.
Are these safe to handle? Yes — completely inert. All casings are once-fired and spent, containing no gunpowder or live primer. These are jewelry and craft components only.
