So when they went to fold crimps the big industry selling point was:
"No More Blown Patterns" allegedly caused by the cards.
A MEC JR is only $200 and considerably less used. $100 or less usually.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

You seem pretty sure. And you may be right. But consider for $50 a fella can get a 12ga Lee Load All and if he goes slow get good results in the crimping department.
Just food for thought.

If my patterns are "blown" I like em that way. Don't know if I could handle them much tighter.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

I use a Lee Load all to crimp the 1 7/8 oz TSS load I'm shooting. I also use a tyvex OSC that is super thin. This tweaked 1 7/8 oz load is lights out in my Franchi. I could not get the original 1 7/8 oz load to pattern.

Seriously
What's the point of a tutorial if everyone is so tight lipped on the powder charge, primer, length of shell, buffer amount....
Just curious

To demonstrate the loading process. Each recipe uses slightly different components, hulls, wads, powder, and possibly charge or shot amount. The guy you buy your shot from (hawglips) will give you his recipe for what you are trying to set up. He has all his loads SAMI tested.
Well, the way I see it is there's just too many assholes
On a good day there's a bunch of assholes in here.

Why do I have to buy from him when I can order straight from the manufacturer?

Just stating the obvious but it sounds like you need a recipe to load. I don't know why you would want to ruin your barrel anyway.

I'm just curious to why this extraordinary shot isn't sold in stores and is (from what everyone says) available from one guy. With a little research I've found quite a few places to buy it from overseas. Being that it's only available for handload I was just asking why people are so tight lipped about it. I can ruin my barrel with steel, no need for me going the extra mile.

Why do I have to buy from him when I can order straight from the manufacturer? because he has the recipe, only way to get the recipe is to buy the shot from him. He has put many many many hours into perfecting the load, and no telling how much money.
