clear overshot cards factory

The clear overshot card for roll crimps. You"ll know instantly what is inside every load. This is an excellent topcard for spreader wads. The material is frangible and breaks up immediately upon shot thrust. The stable platform offers a near-perfect surface for ideal roll crimps -- every time. Use in any overshot card application. Designed with a pressure-relief notch for high-speed loading.

Place an overshot card on top of the shot charge just before crimping to improve overall crimp quality and seal in small shot and/or buffer. Excellent for use with BPI Roll Crimpers.

Our testing lab has proven that poor crimps can alter the performance of an otherwise good load. Overshot cards always produce better, more consistent crimps and this consistency is demonstrated in the standard deviation of loads in our lab. Our ballistic lab recommends overshot cards for better crimps in all loads.

Clear Overshot Disks(either plain or printed with shot size) are also offered for great roll crimping options. See pictures in Additional Images or click on this link.

Shotshell size selection:Use the same size gauge as your hull. Smaller diameter cards also work if your particular size is out of stock. For example, a 20ga overshot card works in a 16-gauge shotshell and so on.

OK, so I recently acquired a Belgian Hammered Double in 16ga.  I also managed to get hold of some Brass Shells for it (Thank you!).  I also have the full set of correct sized over powder cards, cushion wads and over shot cards.

now that we have successfully stuck/glued/soldered an overshot card in place well enough to not fall out under normal bumps and bruises.  How much of that glue comes out when fired and for the remnants how do you get them back out of the shell for the next loading?  If I am over thinking this too much, I cant help it... I"m an engineer.

Back in late 2017 I began work on a press-mounted tool for punching my own shotshell filler wads and overshot cards. After an initial prototype and two revisions, I’m happy to report it’s finally complete, and in production. I realize not everyone has seen my previous articles on it, so today I’m going to walk you through the final version, including the features and construction, as well as an explanation of how it works.

The tool consists of two components including a punch, and die. Starting with the punch, as you’ll see in the video above, it’s made from hardened tool steel designed to maintain a sharp cutting edge. If you’re the kind of reloader who loads tens of thousands of shells, you’ll be pleased to know the tip has been bored out and extra material left in place so that it can be re-sharpened easily should the need arise. The base of the punch is designed to fit a Lee Precision, single stage press, however it should fit any brand with sufficient clearance that’s compatible with Lee shell holders.

The die will fit any press that accepts standard 7/8-14 threaded reloading dies. It can handle materials up to half an inch thick, with enough clearance to move them freely through the cutting field. I chose to use stainless steel for this part to ensure a long tool life with a minimum of required maintenance. So long as it’s not abused, it should last pretty well forever.

Finally we have plastic blister packaging. Although not biodegradable, I really like having a transparent option on hand when I need something as an overshot card. Once again it cuts smoothly, and easily. The material demonstrated above is actually plastic from grocery store salad containers if you can believe it, however thicker packaging not only punches well, it crimps even better.

The finished filler wads measure 0.650″, the same internal diameter as a standard 12G shot cup, and an equally excellent size for use as overshot cards. With a good supply of these on hand, it’s no trouble at all to customize my shot columns by placing them above or below my shot or slugs. Likewise, if I’ve got a difficult load to crimp like low-volume birdshot or roundball slugs, adding one to the top as an overshot card makes things a snap.
