The last couple of weeks I have been ordering all the components for this Tri-Ball load and today was my first attempt to load a sample with a new 3" Cheddite hull, Blue Dot powder, and .600 balls I cast myself with a Lee mold.
However, when I tried to assembled a cartridge there was not enough room left for a fold crimp ... so I am wondering? Is this load supposed to be roll crimped or is it supposed to work with a fold crimp? Who has actually built this load ... and what did you use? Fold crimp or roll crimp?
Here my stack:
1.) New 3" Cheddite hull
2.) 28.9 grains of Blue Dot (Lee Powder dipper 2.5)
2.) Precision Reloading Orange Wad TUPRW123
4.) I placed a thin 20ga overshot card into the bottom of the wad
5.) 3x 600 round balls
6.) buffer vibrated in
7.) Thin overshot card
8.) And then I had intended to do a fold crimp .... but there was not enough hull space left ...
Any input?
