Mark, get a roll crimper from Graf or Balistic Products. You may not want to roll crimp if you shoot a lot at clays, but it's lots of fun to roll crimp and they look great, just like the shells of yester year. The 10ga one will work for 12 or 10ga if the 12ga hulls are trimmed to remove the previos crimp. I just cut down 200 10ga 3 1/2" paper shells to 2 5/8. The papers roll crimp nice and return to open. The plastic shells are better star crimped because when rolled they tend to stay deformed and make it hard to reload. It's fun when shooting sporting clays or skeet to show off the roll crimp shells - see the paper wads fly- and even better when a bird breaks. You can't buy that in a store. Paul
