Roll Crimp

[Paul Harm]

Precision Reloading offers a better roll crimping tool at less money. I have them for 12 and 10ga. I can't get to them right now but they have at least two pins in their roll crimpers. BPI makes a big deal out of their two pin model and want more money for it.

I’ve got a Precision 10 gauge roller in my cart I’ll pick it up when the 8 gauge hulls arrive .

I wonder if parker brothers ever made a roll crimper for the 8 gauge...I know they had them for the 10 ga. I had one of them and sold it here to someone... I have a roll crimper for the 8 gauge but it does not have any markings on it...works good...charlie

Charlie, is your role crimper the kind with a crank and a lever that forces the hole into the rolling head? Or is it the kind that you put in the drill press.

edgar mine is the one with the crank and lever...its just like any of the old cast iron and brass roll crimpers maybe I can find it and get the daughter to post pictures...it is well made...I got this from Darrell middlebrook estate.....charlie

Well Charlie, I’d say it was a rare one because it being 8 ga., but if Daryl has it, you know it was rare. Those old crank ones do such a better job than the drill press type.

I was with Daryl in Connecticut when we found that crimper and related eight gauge tools. I insisted he buy it and he was trying to let me have it. Daryl also had a sizer, but I guess you missed that. When was "Daryl's estate" offered for sale, Charlie? He had awesome big guns, but I guess you didn't buy any of them.

Shot two punkin balls and two slugs all from the right barrel at 25 yards . The two punkin balls looked pretty decent the two slugs are still a bit apart . Might try a couple more wraps of tape on the slugs .

looking better I believe your right I would try 3 more wraps....charlie
