New 8g Reloads
 

I have a cubic butt-load of Winchester industrial hulls that were disassembled by cutting off the crimp. So, these hulls are 3" instead of 3 1/2". No problem. I used the same new basic wad column but left out the 1/2" fiber wad from the shot cup. Then added an 8g OSC and made a roll crimp. This'll work.

Would the hull not successfully roll crimp without cutting some off? Where did you get your roll crimper?

Bill, I bought hundreds of those Winchester hulls that were disassembled. They're too short to fold crimp in the MEC press so I roll crimp and it works. As for the roll crimper, I have to check but I think it was from BP? I'll get back to you on that.

So here are some of the Winchester industrial "short" hulls with the Gualandi Hi-Cap wad. No other change in the wad column.

Better pic here, that last one was a wonky angle.

Bill, the roll crimper is a single pin die from BP.

Thanks.

You're welcome

Since on the 8 gauge subject,I thought I'd throw this in.Im working on converting a PW 375 to 8 gauge,and have a guy modifying a couple parts for me.Hope to have it up and running in a couple weeks.Anyway I was on the phone with Ponsness Warren this morning ordering a part and mentioned I'm doing this conversion and they told me they are working on an 8 gauge kit for the 375 loader.I guess they are swamped and didn't know when it would be available.Just thought I'd pass along this info.
BTW nice looking roll crimps. Jeff.

If I were 40 years old, I would wait for the PW 8 gauge conversion. However, I'm 41 and will be long dead before they come up with it.
