I would like to find some paper ten's somewhere. I want to conduct an experiment.

Charlie, Precision Reloading has roll crimpers for around $30. They're the good metal ones with four nubs, not one nub like BPI sells. I have one for 12 and 10 and really like them. That load of 116grs of BP and 1 1/4oz of shot would be quite a load if you had much shooting. A good heavy gun would help.
