New to roll crimping. Have read on here some prefer the Precision Reloading crimper over the Ballistic tool. Currently have some paper hulls but mostly would probably be plastic.
For those with experience, please let me know what you think.
Regards,

Welcome to the Society!
I have the precision roll crimp die. Works nice on reloading plastic hulls. I bought it on the overwhelming recommendations here on the forum. Have yet to try it on paper hulls, hope it works as well on those as I bought some a couple years ago when they were available from bpi. |

I have BPI and PR tools, of the two, PR works best, not to stay the BPI tools don't work, I used them for quite awhile.
I also have some Italian company rollers, can't think of the name off top of my head, they work well too, have them in 24ga, and I think I bought them in 16ga too, but not sure if I used them for 16ga yet. |

Ditto the PR over BPI for best vs. good drill-press tool on plastic hulls. For paper, I prefer hand-cranked old style Lyman/Ideal/Sears or even the cheap Russian cranks as almost any hand crimper will work with paper and less chance of tearing... |

Own 4 PR tools & 1 BP that was modified to roll 24ga. PR tools work best for me. |

Thank everyone for your input. Appears for my use, a PR crimper would be best to try. I need to get a list of items together for order from PR and BPI!
GAEP sounds intriguing. |

I use Gaep and I think they are the best but for paper on some hulls the old crank style may work better.

I have extra GAEP crimp heads for both plastic OTP, and for paper OTC.
If you need one PM me |
