[QUOTE="Clay Target Guy, post: 1632827, member: 68920"] Oh I forgot to mention about trimming the hulls, sometimes you do have to trim and sometimes you don't. If you have to trim, there are two main options that you can use. Some trim before they load the hull (I don't use this method due to the various factors in loading that can effect how much of the hull is actually used). But it goes like this, you need to cut off say 1/8" off your hull. You get a wooden dowel and put it in the hull. Mark the top of the hull and measure down 1/8". Drill a small hole into the dowel and insert an exacto blade into the hole so that the blade is parallel to the top of the hull but with a slight downward angle. Now insert the dowel into the hull while turning it and it will cut the hull until the dowel bottoms out. The way I do it is to stack washes up until I get a 1/4 stack. These need to fit into the mouth of the hull. I then put a flathead screw in the washers and countersink the washers until the head of the screw is flush. I put a nut on it to hold everything in place. I now insert this new tool you just made into the hull (after you have everything in place) and run a razor blade around the hull to give you 1/4" of hull above the load. This is about the perfect amount for a roll crimp. [/QUOTE]
