Come On Christmas Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 My bud and I have started to collect some old school shot shell reloading tools. I have a few 12 gauge roll crimpers. A 12 gauge decap/prime tool that stabs the spent primer from the bottom of the shell and pulls it half way out to be dispatched with a pair of pliers and a primer seater on the same tool. I have not seen 410 bore, 20 gauge, and 10 gauge vintage roll crimpers are they available? I have a couple 10 gauge hand priming tools. I know about the drill mounted modern day ones that BPI and Precision Reloading has. Fun Tangent to explore. Shameless Womanizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Several years ago I sold about 20 of those on the Classifieds. Found most of them on Ebay real cheap at the time. The only one I kept has an 1889 date. Still works just fine. I did have a 16 ga that I sold but you rarely come across them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasspounder Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have a ten gauge crank roller shell closer tool, plus other tools to load shells for my old H. Pieper ten gauge hammer double. The tools are not for sale, but I found these on e-bay a few years ago, so keep looking, they turn up now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come On Christmas Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yes, I have used similar wording searches. I have one crimper that is a puzzle to figure out from a glance. I will report back. http://www.ebay.com/itm/370764886328?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 This piece is from after the turn of the century. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=330737745 Unless you haven't you might as well start ... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=SHOTGUN+RELOADING+CRIMPER&rt=nc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
