My brother-in-law sent me home with some deer antlers after I told him that they would make good tampers. It didn't take long for me to pull out the hack saw and cut off one of the smaller tines. I used the grinder to shape the base and then attached a .410 Remmington shotgun shell casing. I dipped it in some Oak Leather Dye and then buffed it out. And that's how you make a quick down-and-dirty deer antler tamper :)

How did you get it to seat firmly with the primer still in the casing?

The primer was only a small part of the brass casing after the shots/wad/gunpowder was removed so the antler fit nicely and was secured with superglue :)
