GAEP Coniatore MONEYER

Coniatore MONEYER - Professional Stage 2 Crimp Rounding Tool

The GAEP Coniatore (MONEYER) is a precision crimp rounding tool made from tempered steel. This specialized instrument is the second stage in the GAEP professional crimping process, designed to create the perfect dome shape before final crimp closure.

Key Features:

• Tempered Steel Construction - Single-piece machined steel for durability and precision
• Smooth Dome Formation - Creates perfectly rounded crimp dome
• Stage 2 Crimping - Essential step between crimp start and final closure
• Precision Machining - CNC-controlled process ensures consistent results
• Lightweight Design - Only 0.1 kg for easy handling

Understanding the GAEP Multi-Stage Crimping Process:

Professional shotshell crimping requires multiple stages for factory-quality results. The Coniatore is the critical second stage:

• Stage 1: Crimp start establishes initial fold pattern
• Stage 2 (Coniatore): Rounds and shapes the crimp dome - "chokes" the hull top
• Stage 3 (Ribassatore): Constricts dome and folds tighter for final closure

Why Multi-Stage Crimping Matters:

Single-stage crimping often results in:

• Uneven crimp folds and weak points
• Inconsistent shell performance and velocities
• Poor appearance compared to factory ammunition
• Potential feeding issues in semi-automatic shotguns

The Coniatore ensures smooth, even dome formation that prepares the crimp for perfect final closure.

Perfect For:

• Competitive shooters requiring factory-quality crimps
• Professional reloaders seeking maximum consistency
• Serious hobbyists upgrading to multi-stage crimping
• Anyone wanting the best possible crimp quality

Complete GAEP Crimping System:

For professional multi-stage crimping, you'll need:

• GAEP VS-Drill Press - Foundation of the system
• Universal Arbor - Connects all tools to drill press
• Crimp Starter - Stage 1 (establishes fold pattern)
• Coniatore MONEYER - Stage 2 (this tool - rounds dome)
• Ribassatore - Stage 3 (final crimp closure)

Pro Tip: Multi-stage crimping takes more time but produces ammunition that rivals or exceeds factory quality. The investment in proper tools pays off in consistency and performance.
