- Shotshell reloading press accessory — starts the fold crimp on 12-gauge hulls before the final crimp station
- 6-point configuration — produces six fold segments, suited to hulls originally crimped with a 6-point pattern
- Creates a centred, even crimp start to prevent off-centre or ragged finished crimps
- Fits the crimp-start station on compatible Hornady shotshell reloading presses
- Match the crimp-point count to your hull's original factory pattern for best results
The Hornady Crimp Starter 12 Gauge 6-Point is a shotshell reloading press accessory used to initiate the fold crimp on reloaded 12-gauge hulls. It fits the crimp-start station on a compatible shotshell press and operates as part of the normal loading cycle, pressing into the open hull mouth to reform the six crimp folds and create a centred starting point before the final crimp stage. The 6-point configuration produces six fold segments rather than the eight used in the 8-point version, and the choice of 6-point versus 8-point typically depends on the original crimp pattern of the hull being reloaded. Reusing the same fold count as the factory crimp generally gives the cleanest finished result. A properly started crimp prevents the hull mouth from wandering off-centre during the final close, which is what separates a clean, well-sealed shotshell from one that risks opening or sealing unevenly in the chamber.
