These are new cheddite hulls, I use a Lee load all to start crimps on new hulls and finish them on a MEC. I actually do this in multiple gauges as many times they can be had for the same price or cheaper than a metal crimp starter for a MEC.

Since there has been a bit of talk of fold crimping new hulls recently, I figured I would share.

Re: 16ga fold crimps
What ever works! Sharp crimps!
I haven’t messed with the 16 yet as I currently don’t own a 16. Looking for a Ithaca 37 and when I see the right one I’ll snatch it up and get to work

Yea I shoot a lot of 16. Steel, lead, HTL, etc... It's my favorite gauge

Re: 16ga fold crimps
Thanks shooter, the purple federal hulls are great to start out with. They load up and crimp the best of any 16ga hull I have found.
