Not really I think the only way they helped is being maybe 1/8” lower in the bottom of the shot cup and it seems to give a slightly better roll crimp . This time I also put a tiny bit of lubrication on the top edge of the hull before hitting it with the roll crimper in the drill press .

Loaded a few more today ! But cut back to the 40A bushing got Universal Clays rather than the 41 bushing I used the other day . I also used the older Remington Corrugated hulls . I’m finding just a minute bit of lubricant on the case Edgar turns out a far better roll crimp . Loaded four of the .785 and six of the .795 . Then when I did the 000000 I put ten pellets and 1 1/2 scoops buffer . Made five with ten pellets and one with eight pellets . The one with eight got 1/4” of 10 gauge nitro card in the shot cup with everything else staying the same . Maybe I can try a couple later this evening on paper .
