Old School Reloading

[Paul Harm]

Edger, can't tell how you're cutting the shell. Also, not everyone has the necessary equipment or knowledge to make something like you're showing. I just use the bandsaw with a piece of 1X4 clamped to the table for a guide or the old razor stuck in a wooden dowel.

The wooden dowel is turned to the ID of the shell casing and clamped in place to set the length of the cut. Each shell is slid on, the arm is closed, so that a razor blade side cuts into it, and the shell is rotated. the cut is cleaner than the new case, prior to cutting, and this is why the rolled crimps are so nice as there is no ragged cardboard edge.
