The Perfect Crimp secures the top WAD inside the case mouth.
EASY TO USE:
1. Place a prepared and LUBED CASE into your shell holder and run it to the top of the press stroke.
2. Install the die into the press and screw the die downward until you feel it touch the top of the case mouth.
3. Lower the case and adjust the die down about 1/2 of a turn.
4. Raise the case up into the die to process the initial crimp.
5. Adjust as needed. Be sure not to over-crimp your brass.
WHY LOAD YOUR OWN SHOTSHELLS?
Factory ShotShell Ammunition is expensive and quite often hard to find.
Plastic capsules (especially in light revolvers) can move outward during from recoil inertia and may cause your cylinder to lock up.
It's FUN and after experimenting with your powder charges and shot size you will be able to create the PERFECT load for your handgun.
You may find that larger shot size Buckshot, 4,5,6, etc. may produce wider shot spreads and inconsistent results.
WHERE CAN I FIND LOAD DATA?
We cannot offer load and shot data on our site. BUT, you will easily find very informative and educational YouTube videos and LOTS of forums/blogs that
will get you started for your first loads. Older Speer Manuals have ShotShell
load data.
Although most prefer loading revolver shotshells, we have created .45 ACP
ShotShells by using cut-down 30-06 (or .308 or .243) rifle cases. Resize/
Prime with .45 ACP die along with .41 Remington Magnum Seating and
Sizing Dies.
PLEASE READ THESE 4 SAFETY TIPS:
ALWAYS start at the minimum load and work your way up from there.
DO NOT USE ShotShells in handguns with ported recoil compensators.
ShotShells will ricochet and may cause severe injury or death.
ALWAYS APPLY CASE LUBE WHEN USING THIS CRIMP DIE.
