The problem with crimping brass shotgun shells is after a little while the ends will go bad from the crimping. For those of us who want to keep on using the shells over and over, we don't crimp. That, and finding 8ga brass shells is damn near impossible, so one would never think of crimping because of the cost of those shells. Now if you really wanted brass shells in any gauge I believe a company call Rockey Mountain will make em on a lathe for $7.50 a shell - wouldn't want to crimp them. Charlie ain't crimping his plastic shells let alone brass. I know when I was reloading 45's for Cowboy Action shooting I never worried two much about the life of brass, but shotgun hulls in 10 or 8ga is a bit different.
