Looking for 12 ga. hull crimping tool to crimp some 3 in. and 3.5 in. plastic shells that will not fit in my reloader.

Thanks.

Roll crimpers? Reloading Specialties or Ballistic Products.

Ballistic has them and they are first rate. I use 12 and 10ga. I have a small drill press on my bench and made a hull holder to keep them from spinning when the crimper comes down. BUT What kind of loader do you have?? If it is a MEC there is a bolt on the back that will accommodate all lengths of hulls. Some folks do not realize this. I do not mean to be a smartie.

Thanks, but I need it for star crimp not roll crimp.

Thanks, Jim. I new the MEC could be adjusted for 3". I did not know the 600 Jr. could be adjusted for 3.5". I will check it out.

Sad to hear of Rudy's passing.

Am not sure about 3.5" Could and probably am wrong.

Thanks for mentioning Rudy. He was a good guy and fun to be with. I want to think he is RUNNING around on two good legs now.
Merry Christmas!!!

Rudy Anthony was a good guy and a good smith. He will be sorely missed on both counts in this neck of the woods.

Wanting crimper tool to crimp 3.5" shells full of lead shot to use for stock and magazine weights.

Not sure if they do 3.5 but did you look at a LEE load all single stage loader ? About 55-66 bucks new.

I keep one on my bench to de prime and re crimp when needed. Works great. Has all the stations.
