Got a little fancy with my load today. I loaded up a few to try with my normal hundred grain charge of FG and a 15/8oz load. Instead of using a half inch nitro card. I ended up using an 8th inch thick nitro card that I split down from a quarter inch nitro card. I didn’t use the BPI tough wad cut down to 1.458 inches and slit all four pedals to the base. Took about eight #5 pellets out and added the weight back in with BPI original buffer. He did put a thin piece of question wide inside the shot cup and then I added one to the top of it to keep the buffer from coming out. I also put a cardboard over the top and roll crimped it. Hopefully it tightens up my load with the buffer and plastic shot cup. Anyways, here’s a picture of my role crimps they turned out really nice. Using Winchester hulls i’m guessing a rebranded Chedite. They are super soft and started bulging just above the brass so I have to watch it when I roll crimp them. Loaded up at 3 1/2 inch the same hall a half an hour later and basically crushed the top of the hall so I had to pull it and start over with a fresh hull. Never had that happen before roll crimping I’m wondering if I just didn’t have enough lube in my four pin roller???
