Literally made this in 10 mins with 3/4 emt pipe thank you awesome!
A great example of appropriate engineering. Works perfectly, and no more expensive or more complicated than it needs to be. Saved enough on this to buy a commercial roll crimper.
Let's pray that these will just be for fun. and not a new civil war. And pray for our president Trump, and for the United States of America.
Thanks for sharing a great idea...
The US government would spend $20 million on a think tank to come up with this.
Very inspiring! So cheap & easy to do a sweet job. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent...thanks! Also love the blues in the background!
Much nicer than the ones I made from wood, and they trim exactly the same, with minimal hull loss (1/2" total loss). Great for making short/mini shells.
Great idea. I was looking for a shell cutter but didn't want to spend big bucks for one. Thanks
Keeping it simple. This is great. Heading to Home Depot right now..... This also facilitates my effort to make minishells. Cut the hull trimmer to a length to cut the shot shell to 1 3/4". This idea will give me a cleaner, straighter cut on the shell. You will have to raise the shell to crimp for shot. For Slug, I raise the shell just high enough to start the crimp holding the slug in place. Thanks for the insight........ Nothing like making your own tools.
God Bless our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Coasties, Marines, Law Enforcement and First Responders. Soldier Up!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a very cool idea. I cut some in the past old school style. Your idea is much better and safer.
I use a wood screw, twist it in the middle of the crimp and pull it out, that make it easier to fold the crimp back down
JOLLY WELL DONE A SIMPLE DO IT YOURSELF JOB THANKS
Nice. Will make a set. One like yours, and one for cutting open mini shells. They are full of good components for reloading full size shells.
That's pretty awesome idea! I love it
It's simple & works great..
That's pretty cool idea. I used to cut down shells just to experiment putting wax in the end to keep the pattern Tighter and also to put 410 shells in my 45 Long Colt Colt 45 single action army. I was doing that in the '90s and then they started making the Taurus 45/410 The Judge and I had 2 of those too! Guns are badass to just so expensive if you're an addict lol
just found yr comment by chance😄 YT ddoesnt always let me know,,,,, yeah i love messing with ammo and 💥 stuff lol the real fun stuff i could never put on YT,,,,,, Yeah i was a pew pew addict when i lived in OK but here in CA its no fun to many rules stupid laws they ki-ll the fun here....I like a 45 single action army awesome, YT took a lot of my pew videos down but there are still a few left i think i have not checked them in ages....Thanks brother 👍
@@JollyPeanut that's something I love to talk about anything ballistics different ammo you know how it is brother! I've kind of had to back off and then little bit and focus a little more on the knives to get my fix pretty much just prepared for you-know-what and then left it alone and then focused on the knife collecting in the videos I'm afraid to put much of that on RUclips because of how they are you know rather not have a magnifying glass on me LOL 🙏🏻😁
I've been looking for a reason to buy an angle grinder, You just gave me a good one, thanks ; )
@1973Saved
You're married too, huh?
Terrific !
Thank You for Sharing !
Great Idea!
very nice very simple. love it.
love it thank you just made one took like 2mins.
simple and effective. Thanks.
What a great idea, thanks
3/4 PVC pipe works well also.
The problem with a pipe cutter like you are describing is there is not enough shell for one half to sit on.
@@dave5833 ?
I made a 12 ga kinetic wad puller out of 3/4 pvc
Heeeeeyyuseyy Jolly Peanut. I am so excited man. I was inspired by your video brother. So this is what I did. I decided to use PVC pipe because I don't have the industrial tools and I live in an apartment. think somebody did the same thing as posted in the replies. I used 3/4" x 2' PVC, cut it to the length needed for reloading mini shells using a band saw at work. Wrapped the PVC with painters tape to prevent saw chipping at the cut site.. The shot shells slide perfectly into the 3/4" pipe up to the primer base. I Dremmeled it out so that the primer base slides into the PVC. Cut length's of 2 1/2", 1 1/2" and 1" sleeves. I tell you. These shells are looking A LOT prettier than my previous attempts. Pretty proud to show people my shells at the range now. Wish I could attach pictures of the final produt to this comment. Thanks again for your post.......
Aero Scout Awesome sounds great,feels good making your own tools doesn't it...Thanks for the feed back..
Yea man.. All it took was a little inspiration brother. My time has been cut tremendously. Hell it's even fun again making minishells.
Aero Scout Nice :)
Brilliant. Even I can make one of these.
I like this idea I will make one as well
Thanks for info,much abliged
Thank you!! I'm going to use a nipple that is threaded do I can vary the length for mini shells.
Thanks for this idea! I have a 2 1/2 in chamber shotgun, but I can only find 2 3/4 hulls. Is it okay to crimp it if the cut is unequal?
Thanks, im going to be making lee slugs to insert back in and roll crimp..Awesome
Simple cheap I like it👍👍
Very cool. Simple is best
I like it
And appreciate you Sharing it.
Looking like we may need a bit of leverage for the foreseeable future. Luck to ya, though all ya got is your grit.
Awesome!
Great idea
Thanks , they work great.
Great ideal. I have done the same thing without the holder,scary.🇺🇸
Wow great idea jeah
I made one right after watching this .
very nice thanks for sharing sir
Dave 883 Thanks for the idea , it will come in handy for my homemade blanks too!
Genius!
Smart man
WELL DONE SUN CHEERS
👍
cool im going to make one
Thank you for showing this it works great but I used copper tube for mind
Thanks for the tip!!.so many dumb comments, guess you can't fix stupid..also I don't crimp my shells, plenty of ways to seal the top!!!!
Great idea, I am going to make a modified version for making mini shells for my Mossbergs. A little free advice: Never cut towards yourself, you are going to slip sometime and cut your thumb in half. Last guy I warned about it, I came back from lunch to find his thumb in a bloody bandage
Will be great to make mini shells , Thanks for the advice
Jolly Peanut perfect for rolling
Me too on the minishells for my Keltec KSG. Heading to Home Depot right now for the materials. Good tip on safety.
Great video what size is the metal tubing? Thanks
So what is the diameter of the piping? I reckon just about .75 or maybe slightly wider?
Great idea, what do you use those cut down hulls for?
Hulls could be made into custom length shells. Tool is for opening unwanted/unknown/damaged loaded hulls. Ability to recycle the components.
That’s genius
If you used a pipe cutter you would get a straight cut and then just have to deburr. How do you re-crimp the new charge?
I have been doing that for years,...but I just cut off the bad crimp,...and seal it with glue or wax. With 410's.
So much easier to use a tubing cutter perfectly straight every time.
True, or a metal cutting chop saw or a lathe would be great.i don,t have one so i make do with what tools i have. It works great though.
NICE
Thanks
What size tubing did you use?
What size tube are you using
Nice 👍👍👍 nice 👍....
24 gauge w/ 1/2” met needs dremel reaming to fit. I polished the EMT before cutting to length (it gets hot!) Also notched the brass end for easier removal. Works fine
After you load your shell can you glue that crimp that you cut off back on with super glue?
He probably does a roll crimp.
Many CAS-shooters do this to get rid of the star crimp that gets the fired shell stuck in the chamber cone, so they can chuck the shells and reload fast.
I do this but it gets tiring after a few hundred. I think i'm gonna try building a jig mounted to a paper giljotine and speed up the process.
I've known about wax slugs for a long time and never made any. I might go to the garage and make Crayola defense rounds.
If you do then don't cut like in this video. Cutting out the crimped tabs inside the top of the shell instead means that once the wax sets the small lip will stop it sliding out as the wax warms up in use. Either that or hot glue a cardboard cap to seal in the wax slug.
You can save the inner part of the cut crimp and just glue it onto the end
Hot glue is better than wax.
J P, I enjoyed your video, Great Idea, Thank you very much. I Really enjoyed your music,
Can you tell me where I mite find some of that music. Thank you again.
Thanks... The Music Justin Johnson he is awesome... ruclips.net/user/justinjohnsonlive
thanks, I bought one from mountain storm but it cuts the inside a pressing slugs into it with the rim still on the hull needs to be done with a shotshell press. this way I get a cleaner cut and don't crush the hull. which I have a lot of in a drawer.
yep this way cuts them clean as a whistle no fuss i use it for solid slugs wax slugs & re crimping buck shot even experimenting with magnesium to make flame loads kinda like dragons breath ,Happy shooting Bro....
Hi Matt, if you've still got that Mountain Storm cutter it's what I'm after. I'm in Tasmania, Australia but am happy to give a good price on the cutter and pay for posting etc. Let me know if you're interested joel23(at)netspace.net.au
What caliber bullit mold do you need for 12gage ?
I use 1oz slugs i use this type of mold to make them..www.midwayusa.com/product/101021512
Always cut towards your thumb 😁⛑
Clean n simple :)
And works great..Thanks
PS I RE-USE THE LEAD SHOT WITH HOT GLUE & COMPRESS TO MAKE SOLIDS
sounds awesome 👍
Cool so you reload them with 00 buck? how well do they work? I have only reloaded lee 1 Oz and 7/8 Oz which for my Vepr 12 works the best. have not tried buck shot yet but want to. good idea and good reloading to you as well
Yes easy to reload 00 & 000 buck you can even reload out in the field with very few tools... lots of good videos out there, may make a video on it myself when i get time, give it a go Bro....i use JW 2000 double barrel hammer coach gun most of the time its good fun....heres a vid of me doing stupid stuff with waxers using JW2000 ruclips.net/video/GGEUGeFHJkY/видео.html
Jolly Peanut I just bought a copper pipe today. it fit tighter than the other and I did not want 10 feet of the other. do you fold crimp your buck shot or rolll crimp with a paper or cardboard spacer? I will get a 00 buck shot mold and try that. best regards
I fold crimp when i can but going to get a roll crimp to use in bench drill press for shorter hull's, i use very basic kit like whats in the link below, you can get the fold crimp die for these for around $10 , they are fun & easy to use... Best regards Bro.... www.ebay.com/itm/LEE-LOADER-12-GA-2-3-4-SHOTGUN-GREAT-USED-CONDITION-/192050770464?hash=item2cb71e3220:g:V2AAAOSw4GVYTac-
Jolly Peanut my first kit for shotshell I got from Russia, it is all in the field reloading kit. I was looking for an old hand held or bench mount roll crimp but found a kit on ebay a new style roll crimp for the same price. and with a manual miniature reloading kit for all stages. not really worth it now. with your system the drill mount from Ballistic products would work fine for you.
You can also left the crip up with out ✂ ing replace with steal shot for a sling shot and push the crip back down.
U smart
killer music
Simple yet very effective! Will start as soon as I can figure the proper diameter...if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it
to get the diameter i just took a shell with me to the hardware store to test it.
@@JollyPeanut I was just looking for my 12 gauge snap caps, on my way out just as soon as I find them.
Yup! Mine are made from 22mm copper tube.... twenty years ago.
now what exactly would you use this for? making exotic rounds or?
I use it to make wax slugs & lead slug loads mostly,works great....
+Jolly Peanut okay! that's a super simple design you got going on there. excellent work
Thanks.
Just put a video up on making wax slugs..
ruclips.net/video/WU7lK0RZxww/видео.html
Hot Glue works best with bird shot pressed on top. Dryed, Hot glue isn't as temperamental as paraffin, bees wax and/or crayon is and hits much harder.
The most portable cutter. Awesome. It you worry about slicing your tumb👍I would wrap a few rounds of first-aid bandage on your thumb.. like a shield. My 2 cents.. Please subscribe to him😁
Hands so shaky because of age or because of need of alcohol?
awesome, is that 1 inch electrical conduit?
elec conduit yes not sure size just what i had lying around but i think you may be right 1" works great :)
Well that just saved me $40
Why would one want to cut the crimps off? Just asking.
It's the old school way of doingit , messing with undoing the crimp and recrimping takes too much time & is not necessary .
@@JollyPeanut Got it, valid point.
So you'd roll crimp it after?
I do not roll crimp wax slugs there is no need the wax is stuck solid but I do crimp all other shotgun rounds..
Crimp ?
Why would you not shoot the shot cartridge first then reload with a slug
Cost & Time
I use pvc to make shorties or ditch the fold memory and roll crimp. just like this. where gloves bro. I cut the joint out of my finer and cut the bone! safety first... not careless just rushing
But isn't rushing carelessly doing the task?
After reloading, what do you suggest calling the shell with? I am trying both cardboard and loctite putty but I am not sure the latter is safe
clear disk?
Thin cardboard & super glue, after that dries a little atv silicone around the top.. carry them around in my pockets for days, no problems.. you can buy a hole punch too but I just cut mine.
Wax slugs?
Why is he cutting perfectly good shells?
🤷🏻♂️🤔🤷🏻♂️ I was wondering the same thing 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Mix up some epoxy resin with the lead shot and pour back into the wad for DIY slug.
& pull the trigger using a 50ft piece of string in case it blows the the barrel up lol. It would be an interesting experiment to if it it tears the cartridge from the brass before she blows.
I pour in hot wax. Makes a great frangible slug for home defence ..
@@jimmieburleigh9549 yep they work great thats what i make.
@@JollyPeanut 👍
How about using a cigar cutter instead of using that razor to cut toward your thumb...
press a 1oz lee precision slug (home cast) and you're off to the races
I make those too they work great..
@@JollyPeanut do you crimp them or seal it with wax or hotglue?
@@guzmanpatriot the wax hardens & makes the seal no need to crimp.
@@JollyPeanut for the 1oz lee slug?
@@guzmanpatriot I crimp 1oz slugs
Ilang mm po ang butas ng tubo na para sa 12guage ammo?
12 gauge slug diameter is 0.79″ which is 20 mm (20.066 mm)
3:47 acid kicks in...
Geez man I love the idea but that razor is headed right for you! Cut toward your chum not your thumb.
Thanks.... I still have my thumbs :)
so far....
I need one of these. don't have the tools to make one
Not sure if it's still relevant, but you dont need power tools my dude, I made one using a hacksaw and a file 👍
@@guzmanpatriot yeah I did this already. Thanks for the tip though
Why would you need shells cut at that length ??? Don't you need some part of the hull's length for PROPERLY closing the loaded shell (roll or star crimp) ???
It's possible to put an overshot card on top of the load of shot. If it's sized correctly, it'll stay on its own, but most people will add glue, wax, or fingernail polish on top of the overshot card to help hold it in place, especially if they expect their shells to get jostled either while being carried around in the field or under recoil in a gun that holds multiple shots.
What I don't get is why he's doing the trimming at this stage and dumping shot out of a perfectly good, factory loaded shell. Why not shoot the shell as is, then trim it before you reload it?
That is awesome. A piece of 3/4 electrical conduit. Cheap and easy.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP AND GOD BLESS AMERICA ! !
Simple is often best works great....& yes God Bless President Trump & America.... ruclips.net/video/qziG2MSsxwQ/видео.html
ميني مقنوم مقنوم سوبر مقنوم
Great idea. Just one point about technique: it would be jsut as easy and much safer to cut away from your thumb.
i like living on the edge lol
What size is the pipe?
Don't know exact size but what i used is for electrical conduit not sure if it's all the same size..... I would just carry a 12GA cartridge and test it in pipe....Works great, i am going to do same for 410..
Are you serious? If we try that here we'd have the cops, tactical response group, fire brigade....Not to mention that they would have to give counseling to all staff at the hardware store... 12G measures 20.64mm or .812"
haha where do you live New York ?
I just had some conduit laying around & it fit just right. Where i live it's kinda normal to pull some loose ammo out your pockets with loose change at the check-out especially during hunting season...Good luck Bro
I'm downunder..wish we could "really" have your freedom...at least you guys fought for your constitution...Here we are mostly (not all of us), a bunch of sheep with a govt of wolves..
At least you can still have some firearm's if you don't want to loose them fight to keep them by voting for the right people & joining & supporting the NRA or pro gun group's like them..Good luck Bro
Always cut towards yourself!
Nothing new under the Moon. But my question is why did you trim the new, never shot shells? What was the reason for this monkey job? Don't take me wrong, but the time to do it is when you want to reload the used on.
This is the cheapest quickest way to make SLUGS ..Using pre shot shells takes reloading equipment primers powder wadding solid slugs money and much more time....Making Waxers like this is a great way to go if money or slug ammo is in short supply & they are very very effective. Not a monkey job quite the opposite old timers who know a thing or two have been doing this for donkeys years...Watch & Learn.
Great idea, but why.
Replace shots with slugs or buck shots probably
Why do you do this?
I used a tubing cutter to make mine.
