I'd like to eventually get 12,20 and 410 and was wondering if anyone here makes them on their lathe??

Check out http://www.precisionreloading.com

and do a search for "roll crimper" you'll find them for all gauges.

Great place for shotgun supplies.

Ballistic Products sells them so cheap I don't even try to make them anymore.

I've had the ones from Ballistic over the years and can say not one was worth having--unless they have up upgraded them, all of them I had, had one pin to do the rolling as apposed to the older Lymans had 4 'knobs' to do the rolling, if you can find some of the older hand roll crimpers you can use the roller from them, just take off the handle, then use it in a drill press.

I've got the BPI in 12ga and the Precision Reloading in 20ga so not a total apple to apple comparison but I like the PR one better. Not that you can not get a good product out of the BP one the PR just worked a little better for me. FB
