Cool stuff. I have an old Lee shotshell press and used to have some antique clamp to the bench type of roll crimp tools for paper cartridges. I loaded black powder shells years ago when I shot CAS. Loading some slugs would be fun to play with. I think it was Jared who sent me a link, but a guy bought the hundred pack of federal air Winchesters from Walmart and carefully cut the top of the shells off, dumped the shot to cast later and dropped in a home blast slug and then used a roll crimper tool. Pretty easy and cheap way to get some slugs. I think he was using them for three gun so ultimate precision wasn’t 100% necessary.
