I don't think it would be a problem using light loads. The overshot cards is basically a lightweight thin piece of cardboard or thick paper. Circle Fly overshot cards are .025" thick to just hold the shot while you roll crimp the shell. With your method, I bet you could get away of using just two pieces instead of four.
Why not just buy the overshot from Circle Fly? 500 for $5 bucks and you can spend more time shooting your Parker than making all those overshot cards by hand. |

Keith, Your overshot cards will work just fine. I have a set of hole punches for the different gauges and punch mine from discarded shotshell boxes.

I have changed to 3 and when I fire these off I'm going to change to 2. the crimps are tight and have noticed you can't hear the shot rattle when you shake them as much as my star crimps.
ALready got 2 compliments from them. We are planning a family clay shoot Sat. the 25th at my Grandmother's house so I better get a nice size box rolled so I can show my new stuff off. |

Good on ya, Keith! You are using an antique 'roller', aren't you? They do work nicely, and you can buy one for less than the new drill press units on the market today. Cheers!

Yes mine is brass and is from BGI. I don't think the previous owner used it much the wooden handles are in great shape and the inside of the roll die is nice and clean. It just looks better than it did when I bid for it on ebay. The ones for drill presses look like they will work just fine but wat do I do when the lights go out??
HEEHEEHEE |
