Andy H Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well that's different , I bet they are not using them in a tubular magazine also the pressure must be a bit on the low side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 interesting ! no deformed shot how do they know and does it mention pressures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrowning2 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Would think it would make it difficult to reuse the case for reloading. Unable to see it being a game changer or it ever being used on a commercial loading machine where speed is the name of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipper Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 That's the same type of crimp used to close brass perfect cases hardly new. Dipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continental Shooter Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 i knew gianni (paci) and the guy who created the crimping tool quite well. Used to talk reloading with him a long time ago the (he's a very knoledgable person who writes for reputable magazines and likes to experiment a lot with hos own proofing barrell) the life took us to different places but i have fond memories of when, as a young reloader i was sucking up his knowledge. He likes to revsit old system that didnt work...and make them.work. He also perfected the greener method (different shot sizes separated by a disc). This crimp isna revival of something that hit the shops few decades back nut never quite took to market as expected. Gianni saw the potential and size it (couldnt be otherwise with his genius). Thw innovation is that you can load very heavy loads with very progressive powders thanks to the ease of opening this crimp provides. This reduces the pressure and allow for more pellets to be loaded in order to reach the correct pressure. It is very difficult to.perfor the crimp and can only be mastered with lots of practice. in uk i canmot see this as having a big impact unless we are talking steel but this crimp has been designed for lead and will require a lot of test. I have the crimper at home but never really used it as i tend to load lighter shell now compared to when.i lived in italy. Nevertheless credit to the genius of gianni paci!

Continental Shooter Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Actually, you'd be surprised at the speed (which isnt strictly related to.pressure) of certain loads and due to the ease of opening, shell can be reused quite easily. This is already a must in italy where high performance.are in high demand. Here you shoot woodies at 15 yds, in italy the averahe shooter who cant afford access to.estates can shoot them at ranges exceeding 40yds and this crimp.has helped the homeloader reach fronteers never thought before. I'll try to post some data if i can dig it out the boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrowning2 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 How can melting the plastic to close the case not result in a case that limits it's use for reloading? You may shoot woodies at 15yards but I would guess most of us do not with a typical shoot between 25 and 40yards. As for exceeding 40yards with a normally closed. Cartridge I suggest you look at some of Digweeds videos. It's a solution to a problem we don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK fowler Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 buffered steel goose loads with large shot could make use of such a crimp as most run into high pressure before the speed gets up into the 1400fps range but I don't have the time or the money so its standard crimps for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1961 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Would you still fit 2 in a semi mine only just takes 2 70mill ones do it you could get 2 of these in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
