Thread: Ideas for an unconventional crimping system

Go to Mitre 10 and buy the cheap little red pipe cutters. File the wheel so its blunt. (square) Then roll the cartridge around at the right spot, adjusting the tension as you need to as you go and and press a crimp into where the groove is on the bullet.


I use it for putting crimps underneath the bullet, like how factory .44/40 ammo comes, but it will work for crimping into the groove on your bullets.


Photo below shows my cartridges crimped under the bullet on right, and the little pipe cutter on the target photo.

(I should have patented this, it works so well.)
