Reload Crimp…234

Works great and will also roll crimp 3” shells but that is the max length, have even fixed bad roll crimps with this product. Would definitely again and would be nice if they made one for 3 1/2” shells

I initially bought this in 2021 and didn't understand how to use it properly for consistent results. I blamed the tool, not the user (me). Now that I've learned a thing or two since, here my 2025 update review. I begin with new, 2 ¾", unskived, untrimmed, clear Cheddite hulls. Add the appropriate amount of powder for 1¼ oz payload. I then add a paper overshot card, using the fat end of a socket extension to make sure the overshot card is laying level on top of the powder. Then comes the MG42 wad, 14 pellets of #1 (.300") Buckshot, 7 rows of 2. I top off the shot column with a clear plastic overshot card. Now, I place the shell in the roll crimper. I have the crimper oriented and clamped down so that the shell sits in it vertically, brass down. With slight upward pressure on the crimp lever, I begin rotating the crimp roller to warm up the hull edge, then slowly increase upward pressure on the crimp lever while rotating to crimp roller with increasing speed as I gently increase upward pressure. This only takes several seconds to produce a perfect roll crimp where the hull edge neatly and evenly meets the clear overshot card. The clear hulls make it obvious that the individual components that make up the shot column are well aligned. The finished shell is PERFECT. I'm so glad I didn't toss this roll crimper after having poor, user induced issues. Now, if this thing burned up in a fire, I'd replace it immediately.

Product works great! But need to get the Amazon shipping on board with delivering order on time as promised.

Works great easy set up no assembly. Make sure that you have a table top. No thicker than a 2 / 4. The roll crimp has 3 dies for a nice. Even crimp is easier and faster. I think than using a hand drill. I have not been able to use a drill press yet so I can't compare that but it's easier for me. Using this than a drill. Also, you won't be able to roll cramp. Shorty's like I showed the video super pleased with, it works. Easy not a problem.

Exactly what I want: cheap but solidly made; instructions in Russian did not matter - had already looked up how to use such devices on google and youtube! Consistent good results; find tuning of tightness/ height of crimp much more precise than with a drill device. Holds cartridge so no expensive cartridge vise required. 5 stars overall.

It worked great but I went with a cordless drill mount device.

This roll crimper works amazingly well and I used it to make 300+ shells in two days but on the clamping side for the crimper to be held against a table there’s a small casting flaw. Instead of it being flat like __ it’s more over and upside down v. It’s not as prominent as the v but it makes it teeter totter most the time you’re using it. I’m sure a trip to the grinder when I get the chance will fix it, but just a heads up.

Works as it should
