[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 4323069, member: 24452"] For whatever reason, I’ve decided to learn to roll crimp shotgun shells. I researched crimping tools, and the one I wanted that would attach to my RCBS rockchucker press is out of stock. The manufacturer is in Canada and not forthcoming with when they might be available. The one I bought is similar but attaches to my bench and may or may not be manufactured in Russia, but I bought it off Amazon for about a quarter what the Canadian set up would’ve cost. I’m still learning to use it and am probably going to figure out a mount where the hulls can stand up instead of laying down, because for slugs, it’s ok but won’t work as well if using loose shot even with an over shot card. I found some load data and decided to cut down some old 3” Activ hulls and practice on them. The tool is simple and seems well made for under $50. I used a hacksaw to cut these hulls down and a skiver to smooth them out, but I have a used hull trimmer on the way now to hopefully make this easier.
