Crimping lesson for Ell.
 

Here's a pic Ell, both a jacketed bullet and a 240 SWC. Look at the crimp on the SWC, that's what you want.

Thanks Dave, yup that's what mine look like!

How's this?

Other than looking like they're seated a hair too deep, pretty good Ell. The crimp looks good.

Dave, thanks! They're at 1.600...a few came in at 1.599, none larger than 1.603. These are old bullets and the crimp ring is messed up on a few.

I studied your pic carefully and tried to mimic it to the tee, but this was a close as I could get without overcrimping and torquing the brass.

Thanks a million for the help Dave!

any powder in there? You better drill a hole and check!!

Roflmao!!!!!

Xxxxx

I'm leaving Ell be in case of future screwups on my part...self preservation :D

Shake well before use!

For that you will need a left hand drill bit!!!:D

I have one.....its next to my left handed shovel and pencil!

I see the peanut gallery has been having fun again at the expense of my honesty! :facepalm:

In my defense, at least I didn't screw up my gun like others that I shall not name, "you know who you are"!

Clyde, did you screw up your gun again!!!!!!!!!!:D:D

Why you gotta single Scott out? Lol funny funny

He ain't the only one....there's one more!

No need to drill a hole to check for powder. Ellison forgot to install the primers!!!!

At least he shouldn't have any problem with squibs then!

ell brother I am laughin my ars off when I read this thread...glad you are such a good sport....this is funny as hell!

He is a great guy. Glad to have him as a friend too. Well when he isn't sending me kissy text messages and telling me he loves me.

Doug..... Ellison does that to you TOO? Does this mean that you and I are now somehow related?

DaFadda

I guess so. :)
