What's the alternative way to hold the shell base while doing the roll crimp with a pillar drill?

[12gauge]

I just put the shell on some wood and hold it by hand

[Ranyhyn]

Cheers! That's the type of shellholder that fits the budget.

Well if you are happy to use 2.5" shells then .444 Marlin cases are excellent. I use them in my Winchester 9410 to great effect.

I've had no luck trying to find a UK seller of .444 brass, any pointers?

That works. I lick the case mouth first to lube it. (90% alcohol!)

I recently ended up helping a mate to reload 410 for his hushpower.
He was getting through lots of carts clay shooting - large family - lots of kids etc.
I figured out how to reload on a single stage press using a combination of various Lee dies suitably modified.
All roll crimped using a pillar drill.
A 3 inch case will reload a couple of times if you can deal with trimming a couple of mm off the mouths.
Two of us could make about 150 an hour.
He did have 3 bucketful's of fired cases!

150 an hour is pretty good going, when I've tackled it by hand with the kids as helpers I was managing about a third of that, two adults could likely organise better and improve on that mind.

Still, the kids got an appreciation for the effort involved in reloading.
