Robt,
Thanks for the heads up on the 12ga. crimpers. Lyman can put me down for 16 and 20.

A snipe hunter, a man after my own heart. I ordered a 12 gauge one and when it gets here I'll be able to see how it's made. I have some machine tools and perhaps it can be duplicated in other gauges. I have no idea about patents however.

Nial;
Not absolutely positive, but I don't think the crimp head itself was "Improved" again after that cataloged at least as early as 1950. Should be no patent problem on that, course if you stamped "Lyman" on it there would be Copyright problems. This head has a sort of "Ratchet" type configuration in the bottom of the groove, not a real easy form to obtain without some specialized equipment.

BP carries the same thing from 8 bore to .410. http://www.ballisticproducts.com/products.asp?dept=128If all you want is to roll crimp then they are fine. I believe Rob and others are hoping to resurrect a very nice old product. If Lyman ever did reproduce their tools, I would gladly purchase one. Pete

Precision Reloading's black anodized heads are better than BP's in my opinion...not sure if they are the equal of the Lyman though, as I have never used one.
Best,
Mark

Mark,
The general consensus among those of us that roll crimp would likely agree with your first statement about the PR product outperforming the BP product. And those that have had the chance to use both the PR model and the Lyman model would overwhelmingly side with the Lyman, I'm sure. The reason is the four (to as many as six) rollers in the Lyman head - depending if it is an early or late model.....in comparison to only two in the PR offering.....and a mere one roller in the BP offering. The more 'rollers' it has, the more the developing crimp is supported as it is turning over.
If you have a friend or acquaintance with a Lyman head, you might ask to borrow it for a test run as the difference is very apparent not only in the finished appearance but in how one can feel the crimp turn-in to the correct depth. Just be sure to give it back, as they are that nice!
Rob
