I went back through this thread and tried to see what you posted. It seems you use a hand held drill like I did when I first tried roll crimping last year with my quad pin roller. It took me a frustrating 5 to 10 minutes per shell to get the crimps half way descent looking. Complete pain in the butt with a hand held cordless drill. I only did about 15 shells last year. By the time I was done my hand was extremely sore. It was my first time, and only time, trying to roll crimp. I loaded up the 9 shells in the photo yesterday and headed over to my buddies house who owns a drill press. I put a little petroleum jelly on the pins and lowered it to my first hull while running at the lowest setting. I let it spin for a couple of seconds barely touching the hull to warm up the plastic and then gently lowered the press till it gently “bottomed out”. I held my shells in place with my opposite hand so they wouldn’t spin when applying force. The drill press is a life saver. I’ll never try and crimp again without using one.
