In most cases I can't duplicate factory performance.
Possibly you have a way to save hulls.....I'm always buying new hulls from BPI.....and I roll crimp them and they don't want to be reused after roll crimping.....I also don't like picking them out of the muck where I hunt ducks.....I do but not to reload....to clean the environment as the plastic will be there for years.
BTW....Check prices on Win X-pert 3" steel.....about $10/box here and it's good stuff.
