El Joven Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 How many reloads should i expect to get from a shell while roll crimping. i am using cut down shell to 2 1/2" they are AA or STS ( i have both). Thanks for your time El Joven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 El Hoven, I usually get two or three reloads at the most. The crimp area starts to split and will hang up in the chamber. Then the shells hang up and won't just slide out. I inspect every reloaded shell and drop them in my SXS to make sure they fall in and fall out. See you on the range!

El Joven Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thanks LL. Had to start loading them with a roll crimp for my moms 87 level gun. Seems to eject better with the shorter shells. you going to Cody this June for state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presidio Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm assuming your using real BP and not that "fad" stuff. If so, I get about 3-4 reloads with BP before I shuck 'em into the trash bin. Can't say about that other stuff.....sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I got one when I was trying it. Mouth of shell was too burned to reuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
