I just put together my first shotgun shell using Hals Big 20xl load. It loaded and fired like it should and threw a good pattern.

Now for a few questions....

Those of you that use this load, do you trim the hull?

Is there a certain rpm that causes the roll crimper to perform better?

How important is the roll crimp concerning pattern consistency from shot to shot?

Should the shot and buffer be completely below the top, even with, or above the top of wad?

Have you seen a difference in performance with cork or felt?

What is your method to ensure an even a "pretty" roll crimp?

Thanks for the help!
