Phillip,

Just got the hulls, wads, cards and gas seals last night.
The crimper was made this morning at work, don't tell !
The shell in the picture is a dummy round, no wads, cards, powder.
The crimper seems to work and not tear the paper hulls.

So this week I will try to work on some loads.
1 1/4 oz hard cast hammer head slugs, sized to 0.726"
I am hoping for ~ 1400 fps. using IMR 800X
I need to find some surrogate data from the field loads in the Lyman book.

I will let you know how it works out.
