    Can you tell us which Gaep Crimp Finisher you used and why you chose that degree of taper?

    This may add some clarity to my previous question above.


    BN1, BN2, BN3 or BN4?
    Good morning brother. Sorry I missed your first question. I used a BN2. I heard you can roll crimp with it but I never had any luck.

    As for the degree of taper, I have no ideal. It seems that the BN2 is what everyone recommended.

    Goodmorning. Allow me to say that in order of quality roll crimpers

    1. Cortini and Pezzotti
    2. OMV
    3. GAEP

    There are many types: for roll crimping only, for star crimping, for slugs, for carton shells. You can however choose a generic one and do everything. When you pass a shell crimped by mec or lee load all with one of those spools, it becomes perfect estetically. However the lengh is of course 2-3 mm less. This improves the combustion of the powder, creating more compression.
