Roll Crimps, My Way


Rancho Roy

Recommended Posts

I'm quite amazed at the response from a couple posts on I made this morning on reloading shotgun shells with a roll crimp. My email and text blew up! So I wrote a quick article on my web page with way too many pictures and videos to post here. Hope it helps!

Be sure to pattern them on paper. You'll sometimes get donut holes with the fiber wads and need to cut back on powder.

I bought supplies/equipment from Ballistic Products that do about the same as you.  Don't have the skills and tools to make my own equipment

 

I always get favorable comments when I bring a few out to shoot

 

one thing I do is take a narrow strip of paper, use old targets as I like the thickness of them, and make a sleeve to hold the shot.  probably not needed but adds to the fun of loading them

@Rancho Roy’s post about his roll crimping caused some traffic my way! It’s really fun! I don’t have a lathe or any special equipment other than what I bought at Ballistic Products and  Precision Reloading… I did this video a year and a half ago. Reposting now do folks can see how an amateur (at the time) was rolling her own! :P

 

Hugs!!

Nice work Scarlett! We need a tour of your reloading room. Looks great!

Thanks! Well… I do need some ADVANCED notice…for a tour - in person… I’m one of those, “I have to straighten up before I can load people”. 
 

Hugs!
