turbo33 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I think the shived ones are slightly ground out on the inside of the mouth to thin the shell. This is to aid the crimping machine. If they are not shived they dont crimp well and strain the plastic crimp mechanism. The un shived ones are for rto. This is only my understanding, Sitsinhedges is your man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floating Chamber Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 A 'skived' case enables a commercial loading machine to flute the mouth to facilitate wad feed. Also, the 'leaves' of the crimp meet more neatly at the centre when spun. A non skived case can still be fluted for wad feed, but provides a neater and stronger rolled turnover.

Floating Chamber Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Can,t figure out how I hav,nt come across the term before whilst reloading Winchester 12 gauge hulls ,but again thank you guys ,nice to know I,ve learnt something new again .It's a term that varies in name. I have heard 'feathered', 'shived', 'chamfered', 'skimmed', 'shaved', Skive means to thin down or pare, especially in the leather industry.

welshwizard Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 We also use it in Wales for a shirker ,someone not pulling their weight i.e. "skiver " but again first time i,ve heard the term "shived" for shotgun hulls ,most of the 12 bore hulls I collect from shooting ground for free . Usually Winchester empties . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00buck Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) I have. Loaded shived cases and none shived both crimp the same to me Some times you get a bad crimp but a lot more with old cases Edited April 1, 2013 by 00buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
