GAEP Star Crimp Starter 10ga 6-point

Description

GAEP Star Crimp Starter 10ga 6-point

Tempered steel and precise machining make for crisp crimp lines and a beautiful and effective factory finish for your star-crimped loads. Combine with a BN-series Crimp Tapered Finisher for a match made in heaven – along with a Hull Vise.

The “Incisione” (engraving) is the first stage of the GAEP crimping process, which creates your deep crease lines. 

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

• BN1: for very fast burn rates
• BN2: for fast to medium burn rates (*a fine all-purpose finishing die)
• BN3: for medium to slow burn rates
• BN4: for very slow burn rates

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.

GAEP is an artisan manufacturer. Each tool requires painstaking hand-made precision. Our goal is to maintain a regular stock of as many of their products as possible. However, the logistics of their artisan production and the reality of importation from Italy means that we will have stock gaps from time to time. The best way to assure your order fulfillment is to place an order or back order. You order will not be charged until your product ships to you.
