DIY roll crimper for the 410 shotshell

Hello and HAPPY NEW YEAR. I had several requests for a roll crimper for the 410 shot shell .This is what I came up with. This version anyone can make with basic hand tools

My dad bought 3or4 boxes of 410 shells at a garage sale and I think he only paid.75 cents each. The lady was glad to sell them. They were new. Not reloads.

[@dennislucas8745]

Thank you sir !

[@kirkboswell2575]

Yes, they have made paper 410 hulls. Yes, they have used roll crimping before and currently. Reserved for slugs mostly, nowadays, but still a valid crimp. You have a flat bottom to your crimper. Effective roll crimpers have a bar that contacts the rim before anything else. It's this bar that initiates the rolling. And just a whisker of lubrication makes them work better (a tiny drop of vaseline is enough for a number of shells). Exposing your retaining pin to the very base of the cavity should work well.

Thank you that’s good info

Yes they made paper 410. My mother in law collects old shotgun shells. I came across almost a whole box at a yard sale. I bought them and give them to her.

[@backwoodstech1972]

That’s good to hear and a great find

[@saradolphin3242]

Nice Diy Video!

Great job. What you could improve is angling The inside of The crimper cavity and bevel The center pin.

[@backwoodstech1972]

That’s a good idea Thank you

Way to go, I admire self suffcientcy.

[@backwoodstech1972]

Thank you

[@RussellHoughton]

They did make paper 410 I've still got a few. If you want a better crimp you need to make the shell fold into the center. In yours that could be done by angling the pin. Also add just a drop of oil.

[@backwoodstech1972]

Thank you

I have done so much with so little for so long, there's nothing I can't do ! FREE

[@samwilliams5283]

Two things improve the appearance of roll crimping warm not melted and straight cut non-skived case mouth. Slower rpm.

[@samwilliams5283]

Skiving thins the mouth of the shell to take a folded crimp.

[@backwoodstech1972]

Thank you

[@backwoodstech1972]

That’s a good tip

[@johnmetson7950]

Yes they did make paper rolled crimped cartridges in the day as some would say

[@darrellgoodman9585]

Yes they use to have paper .410 paper cartridges.

Hey Backwoods tech you could put a metal washer down inside the crimper rather than epoxy.

[@frankmartino835]

Try GAEP Italian quality crimping tool, they are made of high quality steel they cost $50 and it will last you a lifetime if no more making better crimps than factory loads. If you need details contact me I'll help you to get one. 👍

I have heard good things about them You can’t find anything 410ga related here in the states right now

Just watched your new vid. Good job! I just loce these appropriate tech things, making tools that work, but are no more complicated or expensive than necessary. Im going to try making one of these. I may try making it out of a harder, finer grain wood to see how that works. Still hoping to come up with a simple way to form and load shells for my old .43 egvptian rolling block I have a suggestion for another project for you to go with this latest one. How about a simple, cheap .410 slug and slug mold? Or something about round ball/buckshot loads for .410? Keep up the great work! Will be watching for more... Karen

[@backwoodstech1972]

Yep a harder wood would would have much better appearances I am having some difficulty finding the parts I need for the Egyptian

[@backwoodstech1972]

Thank you A hardwood will have a better appearance. I am having some difficulty find what I need for the Egyptian

[@backwoodstech1972]

I like that idea then it would be a complete reloading kit

[@karenrogers2385]

No rush. I am going to see if I can figure anything out when I have some time, sort of based on your .410 loader, but I could use any help I can get. Thanks for the reply, and keep up the great work Karen
