Default Crimping question???

On the final crimp adjustment on the loader, I know what crimp depth is.

Angel, who is the manufacturer of the reloader.

First, it looks like your crimp is too shallow. Second, taper refers to the final station that rounds the mouth of the shell. It's purpose is to round the mouth of the shell primarily for smooth feeding in autoloaders. In a break open gun the taper isn't important.

Angel, all wads vary in depth according to how much shot you are going to drop in each shell. Different wads, different loads. There are many styles of wads out there. Your wad is designed for more shot then you are putting in. Fill the wad and try crimping again. Dave

I thought I need more shot. Maybe I did get the wrong wad. I'm using 7/8 of shot. Thanks Dave.

Angel, just be patient and keep trying. You will make a lot of mistakes to begin with. In the end it is a fun rewarding job. Dave

Angel, Call PW and get a copy of their manual and it will tell you how to adjust the crimper to correct the problem. They may have the manual on line. Check their web site. Good luck, Tom

Looks like the CRIMP STARTER needs adjusted lower. See Fig 3-6 in the manuel. You need more hull folded over to close the hole. HTH
