Hydralic Pressing Some Cartridges

[Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933]

There's a guy over on YouTube that does nothing but put things in an hydralic press. IPhones, watches, you name. Here's one where he puts some shot shells and cartridges in the press. Shows the importance of a good crimp.

I found myself leaning away from the screen at first.

About as educational as watching a political debate.

Primer didn't even go off. Why is it so easy to do it with a Dillion? LOL

If you watch closely on the shots straight on the reflection on the side of the press shows a door opening after the press stops moving down. kR

Interesting way to spend your time. I was shocked that the primers didn't go BANG!

I took one look at who created this thread and thought it was going to be about replicating those funky compressed BP cartridges the British were messing with in the 1880s.

You had six minutes to waste? I thought anything was better than another 12 page what's the call or more rank points vs. total time argument. A change of pace and some quiet time.
