Nice! Would have never thought of using a .177 pellet. Have you tried a round BB? Once you drill a hole in the center, it should make for an excellent round bedhead.

Drilling a BB would be pretty tough. I think they are steel. Rust pretty quickly. The pellet has a cone that guides the drill to the center. It's pretty soft Pb.
