Default Drilling spring steel

Hi everyone

I picked up some spring steel (blued tempered) today to make up some bren mount trigger springs I needed. However I can't for the life of me get the drill bit to drill them. Do I have to remove the temper and if so how do I do that. And more importantly how do I put the temper back in.

Or would I be better to use some kind of press and puch out the holes. If this is the better way does someone on the forum have such a thing and could I mail you the parts to punch for me.

Any help is most appreciated.
