38 Special Deprimed Polished Bullet Slices Brass Qty 15

38 Special Deprimed Bullet Slices — Thin Cut Polished Brass (Qty 15)

These 38 Special bullet slices are thin cut from the head of genuine once-fired .38 Special brass casings, with the spent primer removed to leave a clean, open center hole. Every slice is tumbled clean, polished to a bright brass shine, and precision cut and filed on the edge before shipping — ready for earrings, pendants, and wire-wrapped designs straight out of the pack. Headstamps are mixed, so each set shows a variety of real manufacturer markings.

FAQs

What does "deprimed" mean on these bullet slices? The spent primer has been removed from the casing head, leaving an open hole of about 4.24mm through the center of each slice.

How thick are the slices? These are thin cut, measuring about 2.61mm, with a normal range of 2.4–2.8mm from slice to slice. Outer diameter is about 11.05mm.

Do I need to file or smooth the edges? No. Every slice is precision cut and filed on the edge before shipping, so they are ready to use straight out of the pack.

Are these real casings? Yes. Each slice is cut from a genuine once-fired .38 Special brass casing, so you'll see real mixed headstamps and some normal wear from firing.

Do you have these in nickel or thick cut? Yes — we also offer deprimed 38 Special slices in nickel, plus a thick cut nickel version. See the links above.
