I’m also in the process Craig,

I’m using the very same Mec set up as most everyone is I think. Has anyone had this happen to them like the shell in this picture?

This is some of my first 8 gauge hulls bought in 2020 and I didn’t track how many times these were loaded, but between 6&8 times. I’m trying to decide if the plastic hull is just weakening or if I have a final crimp die issue

I spoke with Ken about this and he said the final crimp dies have been holding up well, but that’s not to say that it’s definitely not a die issue. While lowering the die to do the final crimp, when almost down, it just goes sideways, and the hull is ruined
