Roll Crimp
Just set up my drill press beside my 8 gauge loader to make a go at the roll crimping thing .

Re: Roll Crimp
I like the note on what shot size is in there. The crimp looks good to me.

Well....I'd say "not bad for a white guy". It ain't easy doing a professional job with tools you make on your own.---6
Re: Roll Crimp
Wish I could take credit for making the tools ! BPI sold me the roll crimper as well as the shell vise and Ken Burns remanufactures the MEC press to handle an 8 gauge .

Re: Roll Crimp
Shot four of the roll crimp jobs trimming tree limbs . Three were ones I’d didn’t quite have the spacers correct and one was what I considered a good one . Let me just say 1 5/8 ounces of 7 1/2’s at about 5 yards does a very pleasing job of trimming tree limbs .

Re: Roll Crimp
Monday I’m going to see what I can do with 000000 buck and 730 grain .775” slugs in the Remington roll crimped hulls .

Re: Roll Crimp
Did a couple roll crimped 8 gauge with 000000 buck and am able to get eight instead of six pellets along with buffer . Now all I need to do is see what the pattern board says . After that I also loaded some .775” 730 grain punkin balls . First two I didn’t get quite tight enough to suit me but the second two I added enough spacers so they were tight . Again targets will be the final test .

Last year around this time I picked up a Parker DH 12 gauge 3 frame with factory original 28" barrels and a flat rather than concave top rib . Anyway that ones choked tighter than the hinges of well you know and I trimmed limbs with it as well as it was difficult for me to get away from the house at that time .

Re: Roll Crimp
Two slugs at 25 from right barrel and two from the left barrel . I think if I put 3 to 5 layers of masking tape around them it might snug them up enough to be suitable for my parameters .

Two each barrel at 25 yards of the .775” 730 grain slug .

Re: Roll Crimp
And a shot from each barrel at 25 yards with buffered 000000 buck . In these roll crimped I’m able to fit eight pellets instead of six in the folded crimp shells .

Re: Roll Crimp
Slugs are showing some potential. The buckshot loads are getting there too. Are you trying different powders with the roll crimps?

Re: Roll Crimp
Not yet those are the first buck and slugs I’ve shot roll crimped .

Re: Roll Crimp
Shot two punkin balls and two slugs all from the right barrel at 25 yards . The two punkin balls looked pretty decent the two slugs are still a bit apart . Might try a couple more wraps of tape on the slugs .

Re: Roll Crimp
The thought of an 8 gauge makes my head hurt. I'm more of a 28 gauge kind of guy.

Re: Roll Crimp
Just so happens I've been laboring over a pair of MEC 9000 28 gauge loaders today and I assume I may very well be doing the same tuesday and thursday this week .

Re: Roll Crimp
Well I loaded two rounds with the 730 grain .775” slug I wrapped the slug with five layers of masking tape and a mylar .010” wrap set them on top of five 1/8 cards in the SP-8 shot cup and pushed it with Universal Clays . From the right barrel !

Re: Roll Crimp
I also loaded some more of the .775” punkin balls with five wraps of masking tape sitting on top of six 1/8” cards in the SP-8 shot cup again pushed with Universal clays . Again from the right barrel .

Re: Roll Crimp
And finally I shot one round of the 000000 (.415”) eight pellets from the left barrel also pushed with Universal Clays in the SP-8 wad and buffer .

Re: Roll Crimp
I think I’m pretty well satisfied with the buck load . And I think the punkin ball load will do . I’m also of the opinion the slug load works well enough but I may try two more just for the heck of it .

Re: Roll Crimp
Buckshot looks good enough. That's at 25 yards?
Both the slug and ball look like they will do as well.
Now go plunk a few vermin deer, or as my forester buddy calls them- mountain maggots.

Re: Roll Crimp
“IF” and that’s a mighty big if , if Precision ever gets the new 8 gauge hulls I’ve spoken for I’m going to purchase a roll crimper for the 10 gauge and quite possibly the 12 gauge . I wouldn’t wanna do roll crimps for hundreds of target loads in any gauge but in groups of 10-20 it isn’t that bad .

Re: Roll Crimp
Well ordered 100 new unfired Remington 8 gauge hulls off GB today a bit pricey but I wang some new hulls on hand . And we got an order from Midway at the shop today and there was a BPI 10 gauge roll crimper in the box ! I didn’t remmember ordering that but I wanted one anyway . So if my WIN 8 hulls ever get to Precision I’ll get a 12 gauge roll crimper and maybe a 16 gauge .
