With all respect, I don’t think that’s the issue.
I have some that are turning out perfectly, do you see how the shell appears to be squirting out the one side past the crimping stem? I know when you do not have enough filler, it will close, but not tightly because the load is not up against the end of the crimp. Stan |

The RST hulls are not that great to reload but if that’s all you have….I place a 1/8” 20 gauge card wad in the bottom of the shot cup. A thin card wad in 12 or 16 gauge goes on top of the shot for the crimp. This is with 1 1/8” of shot.

I used to use an overshot card in the tops to keep my folded crimp flat in the 10 gauge . It works well but anymore the red beans are easier than a spacer wad and an overshot card .

I took a look at the die there Craig, it appears to be fine with out taking it apart,
I’ll have to look at the links provided by Pete and educate myself on the adjustment and disassembly of that piece. Something must be going on inside that piece that’s allowing part of the shell to slip past what ever does the final crimp. Reloading RST shells was just easy for me, I saved the hulls that I shot in the past and just started reloading, no trimming involved. I should probably be looking to upgrade. I appreciate all the great suggestions, I’ll have to take things apart, see if I can come up with a conclusion. After shooting the 10 gauge Hammer at the Fall Southern yesterday, it is a gauge that is just allot of fun, I enjoy the Big 10. Stan |

Suspicion here is the start crimp isn't getting a deep enough start and some of the hull is "outside" of the center flat of the final crimp and hooking the edge of the shell mouth. Has your adjustment on start crimp slipped or moved?
