It came yesterday, seems to work just fine. It won't roll worn-out plastic shells - those that look awful with slits that still get star crimped a couple more times. I use a tappered tool like the ones sold to recondition shells to open the mouth a bit and start the wad by hand. Cut shells without any crimp look perfect, whether paper or plastic. So, what I found out was on 12ga shells the 12ga tool works better than the 10ga tool for used shells, more so on paper shells. If shells are cut to remove the old crimp, either one will work- the 10 being easier because it doesn't grab the shell causing it to spin as much. Maybe someone else has had a different experience.
