Yes, the old tools roll plastic just fine. You can’t roll a plastic hull that was previously Star crimped and expect to get a nice looking shell, but trimming once fired 23/4” shells to 21/2” will give a nice appearance. I found re-rolling plastic not worth the bother ad they get pretty deformed when fired. Goes without saying, don’t load BP in plastic roll crimped. They get pretty nasty.
