All loaded up again. I just pushed them onto my wooden trim dowel. I spun them while I put a heat gun to the outside. Also roll ceimped the hot glued rounds and cleaned out my roller afterwards. I will be trimming the RST rounds to the same length as the federals from now on. They are just a little to short to get a good roll crimp. I also mist have spun my drill a little to long and fast as I can see I melted one of the edges pretty smooth. I need to find some 10 guage hulls to practice on.
I also rolled 10, 3.5” 10 gauge shells. I pushed to hard and to fast on the first one and screwed up the end of the hull. I ended up cutting it down and loading 1.5 oz of #6 shot vs 2oz in all the rest. I took the load out of the Mighty 10 gauge book. It’s 39 grains of HS-6, a x10x card, a SP10 wad (wad and card donated by a member here...thank you!) , 2oz of shot, and a overshot card. I didn’t have a bathroom scale so I just used the weight of my body to compress the x10x wad over the powder...to the point I was lifting myself up. I also tried to roll crimp without cutting the original 3.5” hulls down. That’s were I got into trouble. I needed to shorten them a bit. I trimmed them by eye since I already had the wads in place. I also roll crimped them with a cordless drum and holding them. I didn’t get them perfectly even but they all seem rock sold accept for two thst I can here pellets barely moving. I cycled four of them without firing though my browning gold. They look better in the photo...or I’m just picky. I’ll test them out on targets tomorrow. Any suggestions on how to make the over shot cards waterproof? Also my shot card isn’t perfectly flat on a couple. Will they still keep my shot in place under recoil? I’d boy I was thinking of some waterproof glue over the shot card? All I can tell you it’s time to find a drill press as my hand is getting sore holding shells.

I just picked up a 28ga. O/U. Who makes a good roll crimp tool in 28. BPI has their original tool in stock but I'm not real impressed with the one pin rollers. Gp
GP: the Reloaders Network has the nice 4 pin tools available in 28 ga. $50. Probably the best way to go.

Thanks Randy. That looks like a good one. Waiting on a shipping notice from Classic Firearms. I've bought several items from them and they've always been quick to ship in the past. I know everybody's busy right now BUT I think businesses should be restricted from debiting accounts before shipment of merchandise. Too many use their customers as their their small business loan officers. I will give a shout out to Midway USA. I bought my first firearm from them last week and they didn't debit my account until the revolver arrived at my FFL. Okay, my impatient rant is over. Carry on. LOL Gp Okay got an Email this afternoon from Classic with an apology for the shipping delay Said they were doing there best to keep up. Likely just my patient nature.
I have a couple GAEP roll crimpers. The finishing crimpers work like a dream. The roll crimpers are a little finicky. They like a certain RPM and my 12 ga GAEP roll crimper deos not like Cheddite skivved hulls for some reason.
Here’s some Rio hulls I roll crimped with the GAEP crimper. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4b9e94cf33.jpg
