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.

I don't think there is any way to do a roll crimp using a PW 375. There is a process using what is called a Hartin crimp where by you trim the hull to 2 1/2 (I prefer 2 9/16th) inches run through the normal loading process until you get to the crimp start station. You then put an over shot card on top of the shot, crimp start and crimp in the normal fashion. The end product is a short shell with a partial star crimp with the shot being retained by the overshot card. I personally don't use this process opting for the traditional roll crimp. Do a search on 16ga.com reloading forum and as I remember there are photos posted of the final product.

Agree it looks to be difficult if not impossable. PW's trademark is shell fully supported by the die, which makes it impossable to get at it to roll crimp. I guess you could cut a PW die short take the die and shell out after charging roll crimp in a drill press then put it back in the press to eject.
Lot of trouble be better to use a Mec.
