New member so hi to all. I do roll crimp my 16 loads. I have 16 ga roll crimp tools from Lyman, Precision Reloading, and GAEP (Italian). Also have Lyman tools in 12 and 20 but have not used them yet.

My experience with the 16s is that for non-crimped hulls the Lyman works best.

For 2 3/4" crimped hulls that are trimmed to 2 1/2" or 2 1/2" crimped RSTs the Precision tool works best. The Lyman/GAEP works but the final crimp is squared on the inside and not perfectly round. The Precision tool gives a nice round crimp though.

I would expect 12 loads to be the same.
