Do you mean the final stage finnisher or the tapper crimp finnisher."i might be able to get you measurements for the final crimp but not sure he still has the tapper finnisher"  > I am not sure you will get spares for the mini grand now. They stopped production AFAIK. but think the grand and the shotshell crimpers for in a 7/8 unf rifle press until fairly recently. So you might find some spares. Midway uk used to get them in, but not sure if they are still in business might have to go the states. Things might get uasier to get from the states if we get a good trade agreement going with them, but at moment its difficult.

Hi bud,  sorry for the confusion, it's the tapper crimp finnesher ime after for use in my auto, why I took it off God knows, but cheers for getting back, much appreciated

Shame you lost it, I imagine it will have come in through midway uk 15 or so years ago. Not sure they exist now but midway will still be in business and may have some old stock parts.   Not that complex to make in a lathe. Might be an option get one turned up.

 Try a few Rifle reloading firms here, who stocked  RCBS  they might be able to find one. There will be one on a shelf waiting for you, its just a case of you finding one another. The importing is a big problem from the states. We can only hope the EU exit opens new doors on this.  eventually.

Ill try and get a hold of one, mate had a mini grand not seen the tapper crimp in a year or so but he will still have it. I can make anything, but i need the thing to coppy or at least a rough drawing with some sizes taken from one.

  Ill ring mate in week see if he got his still, he only lives 3 mile away i can get him take some measurements off it  easy enough if he still got it. 

Ill get back to you by PM by next weekend let you know what i got in the way of sizes off him. Just hope hes not lost it.

  trouble is they are not always what you use and why they get missplaced and lost.
