This only my opinion, but nothing you can say will change my mind. That makes it a FACT.

Hi SB,
Yeah. I use a copper or brass toilet water supply tube (3/8" gives 5/16" plugs or use whatever size copper tube you want) from the hardware store for about three bucks, cut the tube with a hacksaw to about three inches and hone the outer edge of the uncut tube end on a metal file. Chuck the cut end into an electric drill and crank out the foam plugs and cores. I recently heard one guy uses various caliber brass shell casings, drills out the primer holes, and then adds a small bolt and nut. Hones the case, chucks it in a drill press and cranks them out.
Here it is:
Go one step further to do Dremel bugs if you want to do some shaping:I made my plug cutters from old bullet casings. I drilled out the primer, insert a 1/8 bolt so that the head of the bolt is inside the bullet casing and tighten a nut on the back. I now have a plug cutter with a shaft that fits into any drill or drill press. I have these in several calibers from 22 upto 50 cal. Easy to make, VERY cheap and they work great.
