Greetings All 
 
It has been awhile since there was a post to this thread but since my question pertains specifically to the Sherman Bell recipes I thought I would revive it rather than start a new one. 
I recently acquired both a Winchester 1901 shotgun.  As this is a 1906 manufacture I want to keep the pressures low.  Therefore I am looking to reload 2-7/8" shotshells.  In looking at the data sheets I have two questions: 
 
1. IF the recipe calls for a 6 point fold crimp and I roll crimp will that impact the pressure and if so up or down? 
 
2. Many of the recipes call for a Federal 209A or CCI 150 or Rem 57.  All I have access to in my area is Win 209.  As I understand it the Fed and CCI are hotter primers so would I be correct in assuming that the Win 209 would work but it would result in lower pressure and velosity? 
 
thank you for your help. 
 
Ray
