Hi Joe,
The hartin crimp is a normal crimp, made at the same height from the base. The shell has been shortened by 1/4" before crimping. It therefore has a hole in the center that must be covered by an over-shot card. An easy and very clever way to make 2-1/2" shells that are loaded on a 2-3/4" loader.
I'd be happy if you could post my pictures. If I have pictures of the Hartin crimp I'll send you them also.
Thank you,
JL
