reloading

[StubTwist]

Paul, Congrats on the deer! I'm sure he quickly folded up like a tent after being smashed with that lead Mack truck! What did the exit wound look like??? Roundball with BP is my next endeavor but know little about. How many grains does a 715 round ball weigh? I research as much as I can before touching off any reloads. It won't be for this year since I like to work up all loads and see how they print on paper. If I have questions, I will give you a shout..

Maybe even use some BP loads. I finaly after 2 years of trying got a deer with my self made Match Lock 12ga smooth bore. 715 round ball and 65grs of 3F put it down in its tracks. Paul

I just watched a short video on the Ballistic Products website, and it shows the roll crimping procedure. Indeed, the drill is spinning clockwise. I read numerous postings, here and there, that gave me the impression that the crimper must be rotated counter-clockwise for proper operation. Hmmmm...
