I bought a little table top drill press from Amazon, so I've been working on refining my technique on enlarging the Ali X 6154 case lug holes to 2mm. Also through several attempts I managed to figure out how to nicely finish the ends of the 2mm steel rod that I cut to size. I'm making these so that they fit firmly in place without requiring compression tubes but also tap out reasonable easily.

Spent some time today on case work as well - nothing drastic just some edge softening.
