I just love the looks of roll crimped paper loads.
But, it's a slow process for high volume shooting.
With spring around the corner, and several SxS Shoots in the wind. I decided to fold crimp some loads, for faster loading.
These are 1 oz. loads, 1200 FPS @ 7500 PSI, as tested by Tom A.
How do they look to you?

They look great! Is that load in the LPG data? What type of press are you using?

Thanks Dave. That's a load I will have to try!

Good looking load Dave. Now can you make that in an 8 point crimp?

Do these current Cheddite paper hulls have the same aroma when fired as the old Remington and Winchester paper hulls?

Did you use the brass starter on the loads pictured? My crimps look real bad when I start them with the plastic crimp starter and a virgin hull.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought that a rolled crimp had a cardboard or some other type of overshot card and you had to use a special tool to roll the edge of the paper hull over the card.

They are excellent looking crimps. Nice job.

Dave, great looking shells, and a great looking crimp.
I'm puzzled about the Cheddite primer. A while back someone asked about primer substitution, and Russ I believe stated that Cheddite 209 and Winchester 209 were compatable with everything being equal.
So stated, the difference between the two primers in your load is 2300 psi with everything else being equal. To me that is not compatable, and yet dropping 1/2 gr. =21.5 grs. powder using the Cheddite primer it dropped to 7500 psi. Sometihing doesn't sound right.

Those shells look great.

How does the SR-7625 compare to Longshot??

It's kinda fun seeing the looks on people when I "snort" my paper shells after firing. It is a lot like sniffing my cedar arrows after I break one. Just some of life's little pleasures. I also like the smell of blackpowder after the flinter lights one off. What's up with all that??

I just spent the last couple hours going over 100's of loads from the LPG.
Whenever you find two identical loads, except the primers are different.
Sometimes the Cheddite primer load will be 1000 to 2000 PSI higher, the next time it may be 500 PSI lower.

I think every load should be looked at and tested for what it is.
And not assume anything when it comes to substituting components.
Especially if your concerned with loading low pressure loads.

dave, those crimps look great. That is a similar load that I use 21 grains sr 7625 and 7/8 oz shot sg16 wad and a pollwad spreader withthe win 209 primer. I use it in the chedidite paper and the bpi mullti hulls. works great on the skeet field. and for grouse.

Do you use it in your damascus barreled guns? I have been wondering if 7500 psi was a safe pressure for a damascus barrel on an 0 frame parker? or if one needed to go lower.
