Trying to put together a few 12 ga, black powder, round ball loads for my new to me old/new shotgun. Using cut down Rem 1x cases. When I crimp with the ball high enough to not rattle in the case I get a very shallow? crimp and the tool damages the ball. When I work up the load so the ball seats lower I get a decent crimp but the ball rattles a bit. Not sure I like "loose" balls in a black powder load. Question is:
Is it safe to use an overshot cards with a single round ball or slug?
I've loaded RB's and slugs in a 20 ga with the same brand tool without issue so not sure whats going on here. Not sure if the overshot card will solve it but want to give it a try if it is safe.
