Thanks Colin - the explanation on colour casing was VERY well done. Nice job.

I really like your die and method as well. I have an old single stage manual short throw 60 or more year old 16 bore shotshell loader that I bought at a Gun Show for $5.00 that does a similar job, especially the crimp cap just as you've shown. I will now turn a better one, now that I've seen yours.

TKS again.
