Crimping PPB in lever guns
« on: December 21, 2002, 10:56:16 AM »
I've patched for my buddy's Guide Gun and made it work.  The crimp needs to be light so it doesn't cut the patch over the bullet.  We've fired a magazine full and didn't see any evidence of bullets moving under recoil when we inspected the last cartridge.  When working up our load and crimp, I started with two rounds in the tube and inspected after the first shot.  Then, followed up with a few more rounds in the tube (memory fails me here).  Good luck and let us know how you skin this cat.
