@fishblade2 Either purchase the machine with the proper dies already installed, or check out their reloading manual. Do a Google search and type-in: Hornady 366 Auto Operation Manual.
@fishblade2 Not sure, shooter. Never really thought about it. Maybe sloppyness on my part. Maybe the slug and wad is not fully seated in the hull. Maybe the crimp is already damaged from too many firings, and is crispy/brittle. Don't really know. But this I do know, because of the shape of the Lyman sabot slug, my accuracy is not effected at up to 75-yards...which is the farthest I shoot for my local 3-gun matches. With a steady hand, I can keep them in the A & B zone all day. (Head shots).
@RaymondMillbrae well how often does this happen? The reason I ask is because I would want a tight close crimp and roll when doing a shot and not a slug. Also I would like to know overall is this a great piece of equipment or could you get a different machine cheaper that would do a good job as well.
@fishblade2 I usually sit down and knock out around 400 slugs at a pop. (I cast my own slugs as well). I guess around 10 or so will have a little hole on top. Methinks it also has to do with the quality of the hulls you are using.(I am using top-o-dee-line "Remmy Premier STS hulls"). As for the machine, in my opinion, it is a great machine. Look around for ANY machine you are interested in. I purchased mine from a retired doode for like $200.00.
@kaptainkashstacka Thank you shooter. I'm glad to see that others are also interested in our venerable tradition of shotshell reloading. Glad I could shed a bit of insight.
A truly excellent video, very impressed.

So, how would you go about fixing what you described as a 'sloppy crimp'? Can you do anything about it?

@egalescout2010 The brass at the base of the hull.

how do you convert from 12 guage to 20 or to .410. Also how do you convert the machine for like 2 1/2 to 3 inch 12 guage shells?

how often does the crimping stage keep the top open like it did in this video? What causes it to do that?

this is 10 gauge?

@Sync923 Nope, not 10-gauge. It is set up for my home-rolled 12-gauge loads.
