Joe, JDW, others who have used the BP roll crimper: thanks for sharing your experience. One other question about this tool: have you been able to use it successfully without the hull clamp/blocks that BP sells? I am kind of budget-minded and wonder if it wouldn't be a simple matter to make a pair of wooden holding blocks (rubber grips) and use these in an ordinary drill press vice??
Thanks also for mentioning the 16gauge society. I've considered but I want to see if I can shoot this Betsey before I join. Have listened to all kinds of stories from guys who, by their own admission, can't bust a hand-thrown chicken with side-by-sides. Maybe I'm one of them.
