Try sharpening the end of a brass/steel tube to make a cheap puch
although brass is soft plasticard is softer and you can get
a few circles before it blunts or bends. Won't go through thick
card either. You can also get leather cutting tools from craft
shops that cut holes of varying sizes, don't cost that much (UKP 7++)

In the UK you can't buy shotgun cartridges without a shotgun
licence, fishing weights are a substitute, but are usually split,
but that would make a good half turret.
