I use something similar. I measured the diameter of a 12 ga high wall hull then bought an appropriately sized wood bit. I tacked 2 2x4 together then cut them to 2.5 inches in width. I then drilled holes using the acquired bit and with a slightly larger bit than the diameter of the rim of the hull inset the holes so the shell would seat flush.

My jig has 14 holes and I can quite easily cut 500 rounds per hour. I am a waterfowl outfitter and have a great supply of spent 3" hulls that I use. Every so often I change ammunition supplier so I've used Winchester, Federal Kent and now the Canadian Challenger hull. Each requires a bit of adjustment for depth of the load and I cut or add to my 1/2 fibre lubed wads accordingly. I roll crimp and have given up on skiving the mouths as I don't see much difference between skived and un-skived.


Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
