Tamper

[Emperor Zurg]

The tampers I made are from a 30-06 cartridge. The diameter is about perfect for any pipe I have.

Here's the thread where Tobias reviewed it --> http://www.cigarbum.com/forum/showth...the-Pipe-Tools

Oh wait... they were from a .308 cartridge... I imagine aught six would work out about the same

Zurg.... how long do you think the blade/scraper should be? I was thinking a 1/4" triangular shaped scraper type thing that comes to a point., that way you can still loosen up a packing and be able to scrape?

The ones I did are a little over an inch. They're a piece of 17-4 PH stainless and I brought them up to H900 so they'd hold up. They'll need a bit of shank on them tho so they'll reach the bottom of the bowl. Maybe 1.5 overall would be a minimum I'd think.
