    Yes nice to know what it’s called. Word police is lurking, ok that makes sense. Guess I need a gun with pressure stuff in it too. Maybe a lab.

    Sunday I went to a buddies that passed away. His garage was full of reloading. Got case of 28 hulls for 50. Got 3000 28 gauge hulls and 10 bags of shot at 30 a bag. Good day

    They have the strain gauge for pressure that don’t require gun modifications. Not sure how accurate it is. Rudy from creative makes one.. I have it in 16. Works good

    I’m sure you saw that I high jacked your roll crimp post on 16ga. Anyway a guy messaged me and said he has one and you never got back to him. I knew you had one so I said I’d be interested if the price is right. That was three days ago and nothing back. Maybe I’m a little too impatient but damn it I want one

    I had 2 guys send me picks. Mark and Neil.
    Bought marks for 50 shipped. Neil wanted 100. Seemed a little expensive since I just spent almost 100 on gaep.

    Here is the one from Neil. If you want his email I can forward it to you. 105 was what he told me

    Did the guy over on 16 gauge have new paper or once fired?
    And Rudy makes the Hull conditioner. The strain gauge I just googled.

    What did you pay for your hand crimper? I’m tempted to buy a 12 gauge and put a gaep or precision head on it.

    Some say the Russian ones work off eBay. I just wanted one to mount to my bench without a bunch of redo’s.

    Good snag. Byrdog or oldog is the one who has the paper hulls. In his reply he said I have 300 new primed 2.75” hulls and they aren’t cheap

    Wonder how they would trim down to 2 1/2? I sent him an email. See what he tells me
