    rolling machine

    Went into Holts Cigar shop today to get a cigarette rolling machine. They probably had 4 different sizes. I started to explain to the guy what I wanted it for, figuring he was thinking "yea right". Turns out he is a lifetime endowment NRA member and understood exactly what I was doing! There was several other customers there so I bought it and left. Maybe I will take him a sample when I get rolling!

    Wait untill you see how simple it makes wrapping. Remember, it rolls towards you. Start the wrap at the ogive.
    I line it up at a 90* to the roller.
    Just wait untill you see how simple it makes it. The rolling machine smoothes out the wrinkles as you wrap.

    Okay, I need to see a picture, please.

    The rolling machines I used would have fit most any caliber from what I can recall. I quit smoking in 82 when smokes were $0.75 a pack.
    Knowledge I take to my grave is wasted.

    I prefer to use cartridges born before I was.

    Success doesn't make me happy, being happy is what allows me to be successful.

    I am not sure they will fit over .35cal.
