I wish one of the retailers had once fired Remingtons for sale I’d get a few hundred . I was thinking this roll crimping stuff was going to be a lot more trouble , but really it isn’t .

Did a couple roll crimped 8 gauge with 000000 buck and am able to get eight instead of six pellets along with buffer . Now all I need to do is see what the pattern board says . After that I also loaded some .775” 730 grain punkin balls . First two I didn’t get quite tight enough to suit me but the second two I added enough spacers so they were tight . Again targets will be the final test .

I really like your roll crimps on the round ball loads...they look factory to me...I m still working on my round ball loads I would like to get them accurate out to 50 steps...just good out to 30 steps at the present...charlie

By no means am I finished with load development having only been at it a month or so . But I’m rather pleased with it so far .

Two slugs at 25 from right barrel and two from the left barrel . I think if I put 3 to 5 layers of masking tape around them it might snug them up enough to be suitable for my parameters .

Two each barrel at 25 yards of the .775” 730 grain slug .

And a shot from each barrel at 25 yards with buffered 000000 buck . In these roll crimped I’m able to fit eight pellets instead of six in the folded crimp shells.

The buck I’m okay with but the slugs need to tighten up a bit as well as the punkin balls .
