GAEP OTP Roll Crimper design is a unique rotational crimper that is designed to create a round rim roll turn. This is the traditional roll turn over that so many handloaders only hope to achieve in their loading process. The GAEP design produces a beautiful factory-style finish. It is best utilized with other GAEP products to achieve a distinctly professional crimp appearance.
GAEP Rotational Finishing Crimper for Folded Star Crimps is a specialized tool designed to refine and perfect the crimp on shotgun cartridges after the initial star crimp has been formed. Once the star crimp has been set, this rotational crimper smooths and finishes the top edges of the cartridge, providing a clean, uniform appearance. It also flattens the top portion of the crimp, ensuring a secure, consistent seal for the cartridge. This finishing tool enhances the overall quality of the shotshell, improving both its aesthetic and functional integrity for optimal performance during firing. Ideal for handloaders and ammunition manufacturers, it delivers precise, professional-quality results every time.

The Coniatore is a rounding coil dome made of tempered steel. The controlled machining process incorporates a smooth single piece of steel. This crimp tool is necessary to “choke” the top of the hull after the crimp start has been established. This stage readies it for the Ribassatore stage, which constricts the dome and folds even tighter.
