I just started getting into reloading some 12ga shells! I bought a little scale that measures grain and grams, while pretty slow, it works pretty good. I have a crimp starter that i put in a drillpress, just to be able to consistently start a crimp.
However, I have an issue getting the final crimp nice. My shells fire just fine but chamering is a little tight. Is there a cheap press that does the final crimp only? Right now, I precrimp and then use a socket and do the final crimp, all by hand.
Left is mine, right is factory, this is already somewhat perfected!
