Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

8 gauge reloading questions
I purchased 125 new unfired Remington 8ga industrial hulls about two years ago. I didn't have a 8ga gun at the time but figured that would be a good incentive to get one. Anyway, I ran them through a set of CH base swaging dies (3) that came with my gun that I got about 2 months ago. That went fairly smooth but I had three that the brass step peeled down during the sizing. I was able to peel the overlay off of these three and save the hulls. The swaging process is way easier than peeling the overlay off but I noticed it caused the plastic in the primer pocket to shrink by about 30 thousandths in diameter. Should I drill out the plastic to the correct size or just force the primer in?
Also the hulls are 3 1/4" as are the chambers on my gun. I don't have a loading press for 8ga so I plan to load them by hand initially and roll crimp them.
Does an over shot card used with a roll crimp disrupt the shot pattern to a degree that makes using a six or eight point crimp better?

Reason: misstatement.
