    I'ld use heat shrink over the bailing wire. Or i'ld put a bit of copper tube round it with some lead but the .22 with solder would look more better.

    Although it would look cool, don't even think about drilling through the base of an unfired .22 shell casing, even after pulling the projectile and dumping the powder.

    Good clarification!!!
    I wasn’t referring to just emptying a cartridge. My comment was intended to mean an already fired empty casing


    I updated my previous suggestion to reflect that

    Just a question, the screw wouldn't be too long, and bottoming out?

    Use a short piece of thin wall rubber tubing like a windshield washer hose. Use apiece about a 3/4" then cut it lengthwise and trim to fit. The clamp will compress the rubber into the cable jacket to make a tight fitting shim.
