I want to shoot 2-3/4 out of a 2-2/8 gun

Steve thanks for the reply
I should of mentioned, this is a parker DH 1-1/2 frame Damascus barrels in pretty good shape.
I understand the roll crimp thinking, it seems this would be a slower process than normal.
I shoot a lot and plan to reload a lot of shells so I am also looking for a streamlined process , I'm not sure if this fits?
I did buy a lee loader like you said. I may be off base here but that's my thinking.
Thanks, Tom

Actually Tom unless you go to a progressive loader you can crank out a roll crimp shell as fast as using a single stage loader once you get the hang or it. Once the other steps have been accomplished the only additional step is adding the overshot card. Putting the round in the crimp tool replaces setting the final fold crimp and three turns of the crank and you are done. If you choose the drill press roll crimper instead of the manual you add extra steps, waste time and don't get any better crimps.
