Hey Hank,

Just go to the main ASSA site at http://www.slugshooting.com and hunt around amongst all the videos on the first page or the library pages and you'll find at least 1 good video on rollcrimping. As far as the hardware, you need a regular reloading setup plus a drill press and one of those STI nylon roll crimpers they sell at http://www.slugsrus.com or on the Clubhouse Store Page on the ASSA Site. Easiest way to start would be to get the whole kit from STI, the slugs, wad, and crimper will get you the exact same thing as a Hastings Sabot for about half the price, and this is a slug that actually will hit what you shoot it at. Been down the road with round ball, pistol, and .50 cal muzzle loader slugs, etc. myself, and while it was all fun, loading the STI Hammerheads using their load formulas and their crimper makes it easy for a lazy guy like me to crank out shell after shell that will outshoot most any others, without me having to be searching for the "perfect setup" through another couple hundred bucks worth of homebrew testing. It's like sighting in the gun; spend the time to get it right once, then lock it down and don't mess with it again unless the scope falls off ...........
