Yup, found the info I needed. It was in a thread titled "Roll Crimping Tools". Got my cheap curling iron on it's way already.

Have not the courage to try Blackpowder yet for I do use my reloads in my newer shotguns.
Would there be any repercussions on firing a blackpowder charge in say a rem pump or a savage?? I am intersted in trying this out. I will order some of the paper shells my local gun stores don't sell the paper rounds ( I have made numerous request for a couple of cases of paper shells and they refuse to order these) I may have to resort to an online purchase. I like the looks of the RST's paper and have heard great reviews about this line of shell but nothing of reloading these. |

There is nothing inherently wrong about using blackpowder in most guns. The only drawback there might be to shooting it in a pump or auto, is that it may be more difficult to clean properly. In a muzzleloader or double gun, the barrels are more easily cleaned as a self contained unit. There are more hard to reach crooks and crevices in the action of a modern pump gun, although most of the fouling "should" be contained within the barrel. An auto gun might be worse, and I don't know if I would ever try shooting blackpowder in one. Just too many places for fouling to get into.
One warning though, once you start loading blackpowder, you might never switch back to the new-fangled smokeless stuff, which is probably just a fad anyway |

Keith, if you're looking for loaded Fed paper loads, Roger's seems to have the best price around on them http://www.rogerssportinggoods.com/i...product_id=347 Also, Federal is running a $2.00 box rebate.
Cheers Marcus

If the Fed papers have been reloaded a couple of times you do have to rewax the mouths to stiffen them. Remember to stand them up in the 170 degree heated oven to allow the excess wax to flow off them. JF

John Browning thought his greatest actomplishment was the Auto-5. Black Powder or Nitro could be used. Even a cut shell should work with the old SxS's as most have a short forcing cone. Measure how long the forcing cone is and see how high the wad column is- you may get by. Paul

I never had much luck trying to roll crimp a paper shell that had been star crimped- just cut that part off.
