When is appropriate to use an 8 fold crimp vs a 6? Only when the hull is 8 fold?

    Use an 8 point crimp on shells that had an 8 fold crimp and 6 on the ones that had a 6 fold crimp. If using brand new uncrimped hulls then a 6 point is the way to go as it will start easier than an 8 point on new hulls.
