I have had BP 12 and 16 roll crimpers for almost 20 years aroiund in my reloading area. For the first 15 years I used them off and on, until I got PO'd over the poor quality and would quit making them. Then. I accidently RTFM, moved the drill reversing switch and voila, a better roll crimp. John

I went down and looked at my roll crimper - it can be used either way. Now I'm not sure of where I bought it. Paul

Paul, did you ever figure out where you purchased your 'ambidexterous' roll crimper? I must be the 'odd man out', because my 2 hand drills and drill press are not reversible! I also have an old 'bench crimper' for the 10 gauge. The handle is rotated clockwise. The crimper itself is brass. I wonder, do paper hulls require any sort of lubricant, such as wax, to produce a nice crimp?

I got my counterclockwise (reverse) roll crimper from Ballistics Products Inc. about 20 years ago. Reloading Specialties has one that works clockwise, like your drill. I think BPI has finally gone clockwise with a roll crimper, too. Ballistic Products is in Corcoran, MN.

Unless I am looking in the wrong place, or they do not sell special tools, Reloading Specialties' website is of no help. I will have to call them about their roll crimper.

OOPS!
I posted the wrong company for the roll crimper. You want to contact Precision Reloading. 1-800-223-0900. In PR 2006 catalog the roll crimper is on page 12 for $9.95 and there is another one on page 15 for $24.95. I don't know the difference between the two for a $15 upcharge. Good luck. JF |
