The topwad indicates 4-1/2 drams of black powder (or smokeless equivilent) with 1-1/4 ounces of number 6 shot. The 'star' I was referring to is what Remington caller their new crimping process in 1939 when the roll crimp was superceded. Many times, the powder type will be on the topwad, such as Infallible, Laflin and Rand, New Shultze, etc.

I don't see this on these but I'm going to go back out this weekend or next and see if there are any more there. Nice knowing that it is worth a short treck through the spiney thistle plants.

I just won a BGI 12 ga roll crimper on ebay. the older type, no drills just by hand. I'm going to give it a spin when I get it. I've goten sooo much info from Parkerguns.org I have to give it a try!!!

THANK YOU ALL!!!!

I have acquired some very nice specimens of antique loading tools. I tried a no-name 10 gauge 'roller' on a plastic hull and it produced a very nice crimp. When I start loading short tens, I will use it. It can be addicting, trust me. Cheers!
