Thanks Harry,

I need to get up to speed on using smokeless.
I have an old hand roll crimper on the way and want to
try my hand at making some paper roll crimp shells.

Mike,

It is work though very rewarding to have short rolled crimp shells. I have the old tools for 10 and 12 gauge. I keep hulls from .410 to 10 gauge with me so if I see an antique shop and find these old tools I will know what gauge I'm dealing with. There was a 16 gauge roll crimper on ebay a few months ago that I was out bid on. I have been finding these tools around here for about $10 to $15. Just not a 16 gauge or smaller.

What should I be looking for when it comes to
purchasing these old roll hand crimper's?
Is there one brand over another that is more sought after?
The one's that have the brass knob and rod as apart of the unit,
is that used for de-capping?

Thanks for any info. you can pass this way.

Mike :-))

Mike,

If you find one buy it. I am not sophisticated enough to know the difference.
