So, are there guys out there that would want to roll crimp that need hulls and are OK with them being slightly shorter…
First there’s no T in Sika . Second most folks that use WIN hulls do so because they WILL fold crimp , REM hulls will not they’re to thick to fold well . After you trim let’s say 1/4” you’re pretty much in the same ballpark . I do not like anything that slows the loading process . Heck it’s bad enough loading 8’s on a single stage loader much less adding on the roll crimping part . For my own use the only thing I roll crimp are slugs and buckshot . All my birdshot loads will be fold crimped . You’re talking about a lot of time and effort to salvage the primers and I think most of the shot will be zinc . For time outlay versus selling the loaded shells outright to me it’s a no brainer sell the ammo and buy what you’re after with the proceeds then whomever buys them can do with them as they see fit .
