I really need to buy a press and some dies so I quit having to beg people to press these for me. Anyone know where to get the black bullet component? I have ended up with an assortment of different things people have given me and not sure where to find them or what they are called.
Not to state the obvious, but since you enjoy making them and there is probably a big market in there, you could make high-quality "novelty" rounds or even jewelry out of them and offer it at insanely high mark-up. I know I'd buy 'em!

That's what I'm trying to do. Once I get done paying back everyone that gave me brass with a necklace I plan on having a table at a gun show. I am going to make some this weekend and one is going to go on auction to benefit G&G and if Griz's fund is still open, one for him. I'll post pics when I get them done. I have about 100 pendants made now out of mostly .45 brass in nickel and brass and some 9mm and 40s and a few 22s. Some are engraved and some just have turquoise beads or jasper or swarovski crystals in the open ends.

That's some beautiful work there BunnyWabbit.
Just a thought on your black bullets.....
Birchwood Casey 'Brass Black' blackens copper as well, perhaps you could make your own. Birchwood Casey: Finishing Details
I think Jerry nailed the black bullet origins. You can also find moly coated bullets that have a black/dark gray color but the coating can rub off IIRC.
