    Question $15.95 Roll Crimper

    Does anyone have any experience with this company? I just ordered one of these and wanted to see if anybody here has opinions of this, Aluminum,12 gauge only, what say ye? Made by a private tool maker in the USA!! Great price!!

    I don't think you would be able to wear an aluminum roll crimper out. For the price it looks like a good deal.
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    The website looks a little shady. Maybe I'm just too picky there.

    Where do you see its made of Aluminum ? Looks like a plastic one I had that broke after about 50 shells.

    looks like the same one sold by Slugs-R-Us, which is plastic, which worked so-so for the few rounds I did with it.

    Buy the BPI or the steel one from Precision Reloading, both work pretty slick.

    The metal one sold by Precision Reloading (.com) as a "house brand name" item is basically the best value available that I have found.

    Item #'s MMRC10, MMRC12, MMRC16, MMRC20, MMRC28, and MMRC410

    Been to BPI and Precision's site and tried to order the roll crimper, oh my, shipping to me would cost $75.00! I couldn't believed it!

    Send an email to Precision but no reply yet.

    I just wish I'm next door to them!

    My plastic one worked for a few hundred rounds and now it plugs up with plastic.

    this one(click here) is nylon, and for me it works better than the steel lyman one I have. I've been using it for two years, lots of slugs, and so far so good. Can't beat the price. Looks like the OP's crimper to me.

    I have one of these and it works great, just make sure you use some wd 40 around the top of the hull and also inside the roll crimper, it takes a little practice but once you get going its easy. Good luck
