Secret to A Perfect Fold Crimp 

Was having trouble setting up the Hornady 366.watching videos like yours helped. Was doing the pre crimp way too tight. Then the middle crimp was all wrong. Was running the center mandrel in too far. Whenever changing loads of hulls I start out with one initial shell with the way it is set up. If it doesn't look right then I back off the mandrel a little. Amazing how much it changes the crimp. I have Hornady 366, OR 800 plus with 4 heads loaded, Lee load all, Mec 650n, and 600jr. I would say for speciality loads I prefer the 600jr. It is easy to set up, can control the crimp pressure and makes load development much easier.

I just got some omv dies someone sent me, they attach that same way to my Lee load all and now I’m getting far better than factory looking crimps with my .410 loads now.

Very good video, great job

Freaking beautiful crimp my man!!!!

Awesome Pro Tip Sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Man of perfection. Thank you.

Could you please tell me who makes the center die and is there a model #?thanks. ( Good info, thanks for the instruction)

Man, those are some beautiful crimps. Been metallic reloading for a long time, about to enter the shotshell world. Appreciate the video, hope I can get mine to look that good!

Works perfectly the way you got it. I working on getting one of those omv starter crimps, but man they’re steep. $90! I just use my Mec and finish with the OMV #2 You could just go from the Ribasstore die straight to the sp2 die on your drill press, omitting the Mec crimp die completely. It’ll produce a crimp just a good.

Just showing how much time and effort goes into each triple curl. keep up the good work!!!

Looks Better than factory to me, Nice work, and shirt lol.

NICE LOOKING CRIMPS, DO THEY SHOOT BETTER? IS THAT THE SAME TOOL THAT COSTS NEARLY $100?

I got rid of Ballistic Products crimp starter after constantly having problems with it not consistently forming crimps that would then easily slide into my Mossberg 500 pump 12ga. Was way easier to just go with once-used Winchester and Remington hulls and have the Mec 600 JR's factory crimp dies give a nice uniform crimp with MUCH less time and work of going with other ways

How did you attach the OMV crimp starter to your MEC. The arbor for the OMV starter isn't designed to fit the MEC. How did you modify it to make it work. Thanks

This is why you pay a little bit more for custom ammunition. The care and professionalism is not only evident in the appearance, but in its performance as well

Whats your recommend stack height and overall shell length for a 2 3/4" 12ga shell for a perfect crimp? How much space between the top of the shot and rim of the shell?

3:00 whats the brand and version of crimper? OMV2? Loved the video btw.

😊 Thanks

What is that center die you are using? Excellent video.

What is the name of the center die and where did you get it.thanks

Very good information. Neat attachments to press. Question: are the new hulls skived for this crimping or just as is?

Where did you get the center die?

Whats the name of the GAEP die that domes the initial star? Ive been roll crimping for a couple years now, but want to learn more about fold crimping. Thanks.

What manufacturer is the "center dye" you're using? The one that wasn't attacked to anything...thx

What attachment do you use to attach the starter crimp to the press itself? Looking at BPI and all I can find is omv drill attachment?

Are yall busy with orders? Do you keep up with the setup you have?

I sold my MEC900e and got the OMV Smart Box. It makes 100 times better ammo.

Anyone else grit their teeth when he knocked the base of that loaded shell against the metal drill press chuck??

Scusami vorrei sapere per acquistare una machina di queste come si può fare grazie

Really dumb question, do you legit no bs hand load each and every shell you sell?

Sorry Cant get past any fire srms owner wearing a Hillary for President shirt. Yikes

Does it Say Hillary For President. I Can't see All of your shirt.?????
