Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 the pictures of those domed crimped shotgun shells that Pale Wolf really got me wondering how it was done. Not that I would want to use them--more just how do they do that? turns out there is a company in Italy that makes a special, and expensive, tool/machine/thingy that is used. From watching video the tool must be heated as the top of the shell seems to melt at first station only €300 = $350 + whatever taxes, fees and shipping from Italy to here. home page: https://www.omv.it/ page for the machine: https://www.omv.it/chiusura-pg/ YouTube of it in operation: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 All you gotta do is put too much shot in them so they don't crimp right. Trust me. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Is there supposed to be an advantage in this or it just one more gee-whiz gadget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody thinks they are faster than they are physically capable of being and falls back on looking for tricks or gimmicks in the equipment to make up their lacks. It's like the whole coning shotgun shells fad that swept though the wannabe fast 20 years ago. Or, for that matter, why we had to adopt a power factor (even the pitiful excuse of one that we have).

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Sadly the "not cowboy at all" thing jumped the fence and ran off a LONNNGGGG time ago. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
