My grandfather knew a gunsmith of sorts a while back who told him that a bad crimp on a shotshell could be "fixed up dandy with a little drop of melted candle wax".
before I go modifying my ammunition I figure I better see what you fine people have to say about that. See, I recently bought some federal 3" 00 copper plated buckshot, and the freggin' things are leaking that white packing stuff out of what I would call the worst crimping job I have ever seen in my life! I figured that whole candle wax deal sounded like a nice solution... what do you guys think? I have heard things like "dramatically increased muzzle pressure" and "catastrophic failure" which can make a guy think twice!
please let me know what you all think! any valid input is appreciated and thanks in advance
