They work pretty well if you are needing to add a new crimp location. Haven't used one in years though.

They help when you plan to use a jacketed bullet made for a semi auto in your revolver. Bullets made for 308, 9mm, 10mm/40, 45, and 500 semi autos commonly have no canelure. You need a cannelure to properly roll crimp these for use in your revover.

YEP. Have an early one and it has always worked just fine. BUT it is NOT a "crimp tool."

Absolutely not a crimp tool it rolls a cannelure, yes that can be used for a crimp location, or depending on depth and width as a sembalance of expansion control on some jacketed handgun bullets. If you do not swage your own bullets somewhat of questionable need
One should have a bit of understanding of bullet construction, reference to core and jacket material and intended target and at what velocities, before you start experimenting. Unintended consequences could result from mis-application.

Yes, I swage some of the bullets I shoot and the tools are handy. Have also used it as was posted before on some factory bullets. Also swaged some lead bullets and use one to make lube grooves. The tools are worth the cost if you use them.

I have one and used it to roll a cannelure in some 40 caliber JHP's to use in my 38 WCF Buckeye. Works just fine.
