8 gauge

I know little to nothing at all on the subject, apart from saying that the Winchester hulls given to me, thanks to Mssrs Murphy and Carr, were six point fold crimped, and the Remington hulls were roll crimped.

I suppose I could buy one of those cone shaped hull reconditioning things you chuck in a drill and bring them back to life so to speak and perhaps it would be almost like starting with virgin hulls .

You know I’ve used a bunch of 16 gauge hulls that were roll crimped for slugs and gotten decent folded crimps . That was with REM , WIN , Federal and Brenneke . So if they worked okay why wouldn’t the 8’s ?

The plastic is very rigid in the Remington roll crimped hull. After seeing the reconditioner someone recently posted, I tried putting the mouth of the cases in boiling water, then quickly opening them up/ Marginally successful.

I’m trying to keep away from the REM hulls an 8 gauge aficionado on here told me the WIN was the far easier hull to work with especially for folded crimps . Well as far as 8’s are concerned .
