GAEP BN2 Star/Roll Crimp Finisher Brass 20ga

GAEP BN2 Star Crimp Finisher, Brass 20ga

This is a rotational finishing crimper for folded star crimps. After the star crimp has been formed and set, this rotational Crimp Finisher beautifully forms the top edges of the cartridge and flattens the top portion of the crimp. The result is a lovely factory-style radius taper on the top lip of the crimp. Use with the Universal Arbor for hand drill or drill press along with a Hull Vise.  Also for use in GAEP loading machinery. GAEP tools, unlike BPI's Roll Crimpers, perform better at higher RPMs.

Roll Crimping: Refer to GAEPCOTP crimpers.

This extra tapering step produces a smooth, professional finish to your cartridge. The BN series crimp finishers are even specialized for crimps of differing powder burn rates:

• BN1: for very fast burn rates
• BN2: for fast to medium burn rates
• BN3: for medium to slow burn rates
• BN4: for very slow burn rates

* IMPORTANT NOTE ON RPM: GAEP crimp heads are optimized for operation at 1100 RPM, which is the standard speed for their motors. Many hand drills and some drill presses do not reach this rotational speed. If you experience crimping issues with GAEP products, the first step is to verify that you are operating at the correct speed.

Available gauges: 10ga 12ga 16ga 20ga 28ga .410 bore

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY: 

The shotshell industry of Northern Italy is likely the oldest in the world. With the founding of major gun manufacturers, such as Beretta in 1526, cottage industry businesses sprang up around these areas. Gunsmiths, toolmakers, and ammunition specialists of all types helped to fuel innovation and invention. Like Italian cuisine, art, and architecture, ammunition and toolmaking are powered by passion and innovation. We are proud to be GAEP's appointed distributor of their fine loading products for North America. Our line of GAEP products will continue to grow and expand.
