Wow that Makita drill was an antique at the time of this video. Been team blue since they first came out, put that one on the wall when you upgrade it - Love it.
sorry I still don't get it you attach something to a drill is it a special tool you need to make the crimping action please explain I am sorry if I sound dumb I am a guy from UK were not allowed things like you are in your country so I get my information and enjoyment from watching you guys I am learning slowly the other thing I'm picking up and learning about was a thing called a gas check I still not sure exactly but I know its to do with bullet because of high pressures etc.... have a great day stay blessed .....all way from the uk
thank you dave and greg, you know i use a lot of your products, and i am always reassured that i am not alone when i hear a pithy comment from "the crummedgon". keep those loads comming and the phesants keep falling. robert & nancy @holland brook preserve. do a video on the importance of patterning your gun and load. not enough "sportsmen" do this, especially the young ones these days and its so very important.
You say to run the drill CLOCKWISE, but your printed manual, "Slug Loading & Field Application" says "making sure the tool is turning counter-clockwise". Refer to page 21 left column, #5, second and third line. I have always use clockwise, but then again never got great results with your older crimper (the short one) in 16ga. Doing 12ga slugs now with your newest crimper.
I posed the same question, just now. His example in the video is turning clockwise. The tech sheet I found on their website refers to spinning counter-clockwise with new hulls. It doesn't look like they monitor the comments section on TH-cam, however. Did you ever get an answer?
I am really new to this and I just bought a Taurus Judge public defender I want to re-load for. I am going to buy your tool for sure but what are you using for your clear card at the end of the crimp ?
for everyone that is questioning direction. clockwise. and you need to practice. the pressure and timing needed to spin to generate heat and then more pressure to roll the crimp has to be exact. it takes practice. half ones i did come out great but if i dont time it perfectly the crimp comes out bad
Other than the clear cover, you did not mention any reasons to do this. If I own a progressive press, this operation would slow my production rate to a crawl. What's the advantage?
I'm interested in it because I don't load a lot and have a basic Lee Load All for loading target loads. I want to handload a limited number of slug rounds for hunting. I'll use the Lee to seat the slug and use something like this to crimp it.
Even with a single stage, roll crimping off the press will slow progress to a snail's pace. Some people roll crimp because they think it looks "neat" or different than their friends' products. Some roll crimp cold weather hunting rounds because they think they get better ignition. Some roll crimp because it leaves more room in the hull for charge, wad, and load. Some people load for chambers that are of older dimensions, shorter than 2 3/4" and it takes quite some modifiacion to the crimp start station and crimp finish station on a press to accomodate that. I use roll crimps for the flatter metplat slugs for some of the above reasons. I load my target and shot payload rounds with pie crimps.
Wow, he makes that look easy and foolproof. It ain't... I've found plastics used in import straight walled hulls just don't work well with this technique. Could just be me, but I feel it's in the plastics formulation.
I use Hornady unique case lube (so that if some falls in the hull it won't contaminate the primer and ruin the round) in order to lube the roll crimper. I find it makes the crimp better looking and consistent and eases some of the tension needed to complete the crimp.

Just got one for my 12 gauge BP loads. Love it.
i timed him in video. 6 seconds spin drill to generate heat. and 5 seconds with pressure to roll the crimp over hull.
When you roll crimp can you reuse the hull or does it become useless, I really like the way it looks and prefer it
A drill press would seem to make a more strait roll crimp than would a hand held drill which could have a tendency to wobble.

A roll crimper is a tool sold by Ballistic , I think around 20 some odd dollars

Ya'll are missing out on an awesome source of advertising by neglecting this channel and not keeping fresh videos coming.
You say to run the drill CLOCKWISE, but your printed manual, "Slug Loading & Field Application" says "making sure the tool is turning counter-clockwise".

you think that this crimper would work on coin rolls?

@@withoutfurtheradoforever No reply. Experience has me rolling new and reloads hulls CLOCKWISE.
I am really new to this and I just bought a Taurus Judge public defender I want to re-load for. I am going to buy your tool for sure but what are you using for your clear card at the end of the crimp ?
And I accidentally bought 250 3" shells I need to unload some shot from and trim down to 2.5" as my Defender will not take 3" shells.
for everyone that is questioning direction. clockwise. and you need to practice. the pressure and timing needed to spin to generate heat and then more pressure to roll the crimp has to be exact. it takes practice. half ones i did come out great but if i dont time it perfectly the crimp comes out bad
Your written instructions for roll crimping new hulls says counter-clockwise. Is the same crimp tool used, just running backwards?
Excellent
It looks like I'm doing the same thing with the drill but my hulls aren't rolling but twisting because of the heat generated. Can anyone help?

You would think the maker of the product would give you some information on shell prep/length.
Yes yes chastise a company because you are too lazy to do your homework. Makes perfect sense
Any tips on distance between card or slug and top of hull. One person mentioned to do your homework but I can't find the teacher.
Wow, he makes that look easy and foolproof.
It ain't...

I like it.

Please send me one
