I got bored today (You can allready feel the danger!)
A few days ago i was given @250 12cal 24gram steel trap cartridges. Usefull as tits on a boar, as i dont eat clay pidgeons.
So i got's to think and why not drop the shot and replace them with a slug?
A damaged Lee 575 Minié mould went in the mill, and long story short: It went to hell in a handbasket.
Not to be outdone i started on a swaging tool, so far so good:
A 450 grain .515" Lee slug as the lead source, and the way Old McDonald expedited the missus. With a wackwack here and a wackwack there, it became a fine littel slug:
Next thing, a measure for cutting the wad:
So now i come to the help part!
I have never seen a roll crimp tool in my life, so i'm completly in the dark as to how the shells are going to be closed/sealed.
Here's where the project ground to a hold:
If any of you good folks could take some pics of a roll crimp tool i would be greatfull. Thus i can make my own and test the slugs.
