looks good to me...this should make a better round than just sticking the ball down into the case...looks tough....charlie

That’s the way the Brits did it in years past . I’d prefer some type thing to make a slight radius on top and crimp the way factory ammunition was at the time . Like pictured below .

If I do this I have no intention of glueing the top wad in etc . I want the metal crimped .

I did it a couple of years back with 12ga shells. I've seen it referred to as a swedged crimp - slight roll over without the over. If I remember I used a Lee reloader. One of those chromed models in a small box with about 4 or 5 attachments. The crimping tube has a smooth taper to the one end. Because stack height is so important, it's hard to do. Good luck. Maybe a Mec SS could be made to work. Or the final stage in a progressive press.

I would think some type of conical rotary tool in a drill press would do this to brass no problem. maybe even a light touch with a roll crimp tool.

I have the 8 gauge hulls along with most other gauges. I also have one of the Paradox crimpers for a 1-58" 20 gauge chamber in a rifled Sauer cape gun. The 8 gauge is a hoot with a full bore size ball (which are available already cast) since my 8 gauge is an 1870 single with no choke. It's really accurate for a round ball.
I am not really keen on the paradox crimp (or the roll crimping either). I my experience, neither works very well without annealing the case mouth area. This wouldn't be a problem except that, like rifle brass forming, with that much movement it needs to be annealed after each shot. If I had a Paradox gun, I might load some for display and show, or if I wanted to hunt with them to insure the load didn't shift I might special load for that. For everyday use, I would strongly recommend the glue in based on my experience. By the way, the crimper shown is specific as to the length. If you anneal, I am not sure that a regular crimp starter wouldn't work. |
