GREETINGS FROM GREECE

[Nikos77]

I would like to dedicate this video to my friend Peter:

The crimper is an old prototype Gaep, that never comes out, except my prototype and wasn't good at all...but with the magic second stage conic crimper...finally after 3 years works quite good!!!

Nikos,

i may sound conservative, but the stage before final rollcrimp when hull stuck in crimptool, i don't like when this happens and it should irritating the crap out of me
I understand it must be that way for the final result you want,

/ P

[Nikos77]

No Peter, that's not exactly and the things is less complicated in that way...

My final crimp, is my design hybrid design final crimp that costs 45€, but the professional crimp of Cortini machine with the sping and the right geometry...costs 100€!!!

So, if you want the real professional work...you have to pay more...but if you like my work...you have to pay les...as always!

Kind regards!

That crimp looks like the one i have on my press before gaep , a Ponsness & Warren 375C duo-matic

[Nikos77]

This is the professional crimper, of the Cortini industrial machine of 12.000 € cost and of the 2.400 shotshells/hour production!

kind regards!

Still looks like the one i had ( on the outside )

[Nikos77]

Of course, the outside is always the same Peter! The inside change the things!

Kind regards!

[Nikos77]

Peter, look here mate, what I have for you!!!

...

kind regards!

[Ugluk]

Nikos, the pictures you post are superb. You make the shotshells look like candy.

Why the 4-petal crimp? As opposed to 6 or 8 point star?

[Nikos77]

Hi Ugluk, the 4 star crimp give more power during the phase of the powder combustion...so in the heavy load shotshells could be able to help the high rpogressive powders to burn better!

I did that kind of closure, just to try the mechanical limits of my machine and my accessories and just to have the confirmation of the Conic crimp I designed...works fine!

kind regards!

[culot]

Nikos,

I see he use Z2M & SuperG wads , is this becouse they have softer collaps- section ?
They never use stiffer GT wads in this loads??

I hope they will run this loads in manometic barrel , the loads with A1SP 1,90x32 catch my interrest a bit ..

/P

[Nikos77]

Hi Peter, I am not sure at 100%...but they seems like using softer compression wads, for the 13 to 14mm and harder wads, for the 15 and 16mm free hull space!

Kind regards!

[culot]

Nikos,

You see in this pict the same problem i had with buffred loads, buffer migrates down to powder !
Thats maby ok with plastic granulate buffer like Mix47 , but organic oat-meal
if you store a load buffred with oat meal in to high air humidity ( above 40% )
i think they can have a problem.. americans with their tighter compressor formed hulls seal better with buffered loads.
i bought once fired hulls from states in the 90:s for this kind of loads, and it was expensive in 90:s and way more expensive today...

Q : do you now if this low wad pressure loads will work with heavier loads like thce 1,90x36-38gram using A1SP powder
or is the problem , you can't find a wad low enough ?

/ P

[Nikos77]

...

You don't need to store your shotshells, you have just to reload them and to take them to hunt the ducks!

About the wad pressure, we have to see that chapter on the next days-weeks, as I am waiting my new special third stage crimper...

Kind regards!

[culot]

....

Early experiment in america include meal , kitchen floor etc etc but non of them was ideal .
The best was ( and still is) plastic sperical granulat ( buffer) , oat meal may be a cheap solution
But it's not a modern way to buffer loads.

/p

[Nikos77]

Peter, probably you have to learn new things...as I am learning also that things!

Here we are with the new pics and with the VICTORY of the new technology prototype crimpers, for over 13mm of free hull space!!!! Finally I did it!!!















Kind regards!

[culot]

Peter, probably you have to learn new things...as I am learning also that things!
Kind regards!

Yup! The Greec whana learn me bake bread

I still have some spherical plastic buffer left, but nothing i'm taking up again..

Maby i will start fiddling with larger free space in hull this winter ( now it's the most intensive hunting season for me )

But i will see some real pressure and speed numbers of this contradosi loads, an how they perform in standard 35m range using normal 0,50-0,75 choke

and off course " normal barrel"

[Nikos77]

Peter, look what we have here



And look also what we have here



Kind regards!

Peter, look what we have here

Sweet! what kind o price are we talking about for the dispenser ?

/P

[Nikos77]

I am not sure about the price, but you can ask directly the factory via email [www.cortiniepezzotti.it], write them in English!

Regarding the ballistic tests, I have some results to post, but keep in mind that I have used 12/67.40 hulls and I have used the third stage, so I had change all the ballistic parameters of my shotshells!!!

Kind regards!
