    Hull trimmer

    This is being sold on ebay as a hull trimmer. Anyone have any input? I have a crimp tool that looks alot like this. Was one ever made? The time frame for this tool would make the hulls brass or paper?

    Definitely not a hull trimmer, roll crimper from BGI ?

    You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.

    It's a crimper for paper shells...........and don't be deceived by "Ebay hype". Thousands of these things were made and thousands are still out there, hardly qualifying them as "rare", "vintage" and "valuable".

    On thing I've noticed about the old crimpers though. Some roll a square edge crimp and others a round crimp. Not sure if this is by design or not, but I've seen both.
