Paul, give your legs time to get back into walking condition and let us know how you progress from time to time.

One of the improvements I've made to my roll crimps is - actually there are two - I have rubber stamps with the shot size number to do the overshot cards. And, I found a supplier of 5/8" labels that I run through my computer and print off a sheet of labels with the shot size number on and then put them onto the OSC. It's one of those little extra steps we SxS lovers are known for. Doesn't get more birds, but we look better doing it.

Just today I stamped out some OSC from a Chinese takeout joint that I use for an overshot card. They work as well as the BPI OSC, just a little more handwork to drive the non roll crimping part of society nuts. I love hearing them exclaim how they don't have time to do those little extra jimmy jobs that we enjoy.
