Crimping question???

[Angel Cruz Ortiz]

Okay, getting close. Now how do I close that small hole??

[oskar]

Angel, on a MEC I would add a touch more pre-crimp till the hole is either closed or almost closed. Can you do this on a PW?

Also, unless the hole is large enough for shot to pass thru the hole is not a big problem.

Thanks Mike, I can do that.

[Angel Cruz Ortiz]

Mike, it worked. The hole is smaller that a #8 shot.

[oskar]

Good deal. BTW, the loads you posted photos of look really nice. New Cheddite
hulls?

[Angel Cruz Ortiz]

I got it Mike, the hole is closed. And yes they are Cheddite hulls.

Nice work Angel.
You are my 16 gauge man! I wish you lived closer, after coffee we could shoot our 16s!!
Ive been saving 16 RST hulls for a year. I hope I can make crimps like yours.
