Reloading Gauge 12 With GAEP

[TyBealt]

Good morning everyone, I am new to this forum. I am signed up for several of them. I wanted to tell you that I am passionate about reloading. I use equipment from Gaep, an Italian company specialized in this. Recently, I got a crimper BN2 gauge 12 and I must say that it works perfectly and has solved many problems for me. If anyone is interested, you can visit them because they have both a website and a shop, just search for gaep reloading.

Wow, that's professional looking, a much nicer crimp than my Mec 600 Jr that I cut my teeth on when I was 16. I loaded thousands of shells, we'd shoot blackbirds and claybirds until our barrels were hot, then after dark we'd load the 300 empties for the next evening. But when small game disappeared most of the purpose of having a 12 ga. disappeared.

Yes Its fantastic , I do a pre-crimp with their 6-engraver field tool and then use this crimper bn2 .
I don’t have a mec beacuse because I tried it with a friend of mine and I didn't like it

You do reloading now?

 

[Mennoniteman]

No, not currently. I have too many hobbies and not enough time so I had to cut out a few things. do you load rifle cartridges as well?

Yes in 12 gauge but i want to do 20

With the MEC 600jr reloader, 20 gauge is a lot harder to do a nice crimp than a 12 gauge. Hopefully you can get a 20 ga. Gaep crimper like the one that you showed that will do a nicer job.
