Mike, Here is a BGI 20 gauge set of mine. Looks like you have what you need except for the powder/shot measure sir.

Thanks to all. Now all I need is the step by step instructions that tell how to actually load shells. Brian, where can I get the drill press crimper?

Thanks again Rick. Have any of you guys actually used one of these loaders? I'm also wondering about resizing the hulls.

I like using the roll crimp tool that chucks up in a drill press. It is fast and you get excellent crimps with it.
My experience with recently, I'm finding it to be much the opposite, Brian.
I load my NPE Chedites in my MEC, up to the dropping of shot. Then take it out and put the overshot card in. My old BGI roll crimper does a beautiful crimp with 5 turns of the crank, I've yet to have any trouble getting a crimped shell right out, and it's much less trouble than the drill press crimper. Also, the handle that pushes the shell into the crimper leaves no gouges or marks. It's just enough to keep the shell from turning. The vice necessary to hold a shell on the drill press table can deform the brass. Someone on here uses a MEC collet sizer to hold their shells, and that one won't deform the brass.
I have a few of the old roll crimpers, and clearly, some are much better than others. There was an auction last week that had MANY of these old loading tools. Like, maybe 75 roll crimpers.

Default CARTRIDGE-CLOSING MACHINE

There was a post where someone asked for details on the re-enforcing screw Parker used on beavertail forends, so I thought I might find the patent on that for them. But, I was distracted by this; I found this interesting so I thought I would share it with you. A "CARTRIDGE-CLOSING MACHINE" from Charles Parker Co.

The correct use of the funnel thingy is the hull slips into it and the funnel end aids in dropping the powder into the hull, sliding the wads into the powder charged hull, then the shot is poured in, again allowing the funnel to aid in charging the hull. All this while you are holding the funnel upright and doing everything with your other hand. You'll become ambidextrous before you know it.

Now, about your dominant hand . . .

You can get a drill press roll crimping device from Precision Reloading (800-223-0900). They also have a hull trimmer that goes with their D-Loader that will trim to 2 1/2" if you need that size.
