Hornady Crimp Starter 20 Gauge 6-Point Shotshell

• Shotshell reloading press accessory — starts the fold crimp on 20-gauge hulls before the final crimp station
• 6-point configuration — produces six fold segments, matching the most common 20-gauge factory crimp pattern
• Gauge-specific sizing — designed for 20-gauge hulls, not interchangeable with 12-gauge or 28-gauge tools
• Creates a centred, even crimp start to prevent off-centre or unevenly sealed finished shells
• Fits the crimp-start station on compatible Hornady shotshell reloading presses

The Hornady Crimp Starter 20 Gauge 6-Point is a shotshell reloading press accessory sized for 20-gauge hulls. It fits the crimp-start station on a compatible shotshell press and, as part of the normal loading cycle, presses into the open hull mouth to reform the six crimp folds and establish a centred starting point before the hull passes to the final crimp stage. Getting the crimp started correctly is important — a well-centred 6-point crimp start prevents the hull mouth from folding unevenly or walking off-axis during the closing stage, which is the most common cause of a poorly sealed finished shell. The 6-point configuration is gauge-specific and sized for 20-gauge hulls, which have a smaller bore diameter than 12-gauge, so the correct tool must be used to match the shell. For clay shooters and game-gun enthusiasts reloading their own 20-gauge ammunition, this is one of those small press parts that keeps every reload coming out clean and consistent.
