Okay, getting close. Now how do I close that small hole??

Angel, on a MEC I would add a touch more pre-crimp till the hole is either closed or almost closed. Can you do this on a PW?

Also, unless the hole is large enough for shot to pass thru the hole is not a big problem.

Thanks Mike, I can do that.

Mike, it worked. The hole is smaller that a #8 shot.

Good deal. BTW, the loads you posted photos of look really nice. New Cheddite
hulls?

Nice work Angel.
You are my 16 gauge man! I wish you lived closer, after coffee we could shoot our 16s!!
Ive been saving 16 RST hulls for a year. I hope I can make crimps like yours.
