roll crimping tools

Charlie - I don't know if Precision Reloading has an 8 gauge roll crimp. You can get to them online. Nice folks to do business with.

On another subject, I noticed when trimming hulls it is rare that any three out of 10 will be the exact same size, off by 1/16th perhaps or a little more. I finally figured it out. The trim is being done with the hull on a mandrel. The place for the trim should be determined from the base of the hull, not the mandrel using the basewad as the stop, if we want to have consistent finished loads.

I have a 12 and 10ga Lee Loader- yes they are slow. I've used my BP roll crimper on paper or plastic in a clockwise direction with no problems. Wish you guys had never said anything - now it probably won't work. Paul

I have had BP 12 and 16 roll crimpers for almost 20 years aroiund in my reloading area. For the first 15 years I used them off and on, until I got PO'd over the poor quality and would quit making them. Then. I accidently RTFM, moved the drill reversing switch and voila, a better roll crimp. John

I went down and looked at my roll crimper - it can be used either way. Now I'm not sure of where I bought it. Paul
