Well I was messing around today - noticed my old Lee Loader [ hand ] had instructions for fold or roll crimps. So I ground the ribs off a 6 point plastic star crimp and did about 6 shells in my Mec. After a little adjusting - the start crimp just a little bend enough for the final crimp to catch - everything worked great. Real nice looking shells. It's always been in the back of my mind that if that Lee loader was suppose to do roll crimps, why couldn't it be done with a Mec ? Well it can. Now, anyone have a fix for those plastic start crimpers that get loose and fall off if they're removed a couple of times ? Paul
