MEET KEVIN
The rollsizer.com business started out of a genuine personal need to be able to process and reload brass quickly, reliably without problems. the initial idea started in the early 2000's as a need to size 357SIG cases for reliability, as the standard methods did not provide reliable case formation, magazine performance or consistency in accuracy / performance on the range. The variety reloading presses, dies and various “bulge busting” options were looked at and none could reliably reshape the brass back to the OEM or factory case dimensions.
So what did we do?
Easy, We designed our own, we made lots of versions along the way with varying levels of results. The rollsizer.com business formally launched in 2017 and has expanded and grown ever since with the addition of the DC and manual rollsizers, Decappers and most recently a manual universal rollsizer. As far as we can tell all of the original rollsizers sold in 2017 are still in use. The use of rollsizing in brass processing is now mainstream and is considered a baseline minimum process in all quality remanufactured brass and ammunition.
The Automatic decapper was launched in 2021 and despite it being designed as a domestic machine it is in use across many commercial businesses as well as competitive shooters.
Kevin is a Mechanical Engineer with over 30 years experience in design, fabrication and manufacturing. He is a Master Grade competitive shooter and regularly competes nationally and internationally including representing Australia (when we can get to matches….COVID is not helping). As an active competitor Kevin is very much aware of the importance of reliable ammunition in our competitions, a single 3 second delay due to ammunition can loose a podium slot.
Kevin is also the father of the Rollsizer.com sponsored shooter Paul Whitehead. Paul is the current Australian Standard Division Champion (2021, 2022) and is a GM graded shooter with a custom 2011 supplied by Robert Griffirth Gunsmithing in Western Australia.
Paul started competing at the age of 11, represented Australia at the age of 14 and iachieved a 23rd outright at the 2022 IPSC World shoot in Thailand in November 2022. Paul also came 8th Outright at the 2023 IPSC European Handgun Championship in Greece.

Paul was selected to represent Australia the 2016 IPSC Australasian competition in Surabaya (at the age of 14 which makes him one of the youngest ever pistol shooters ever to represent Australia) and despite being hospitalised during the match for a stomach bug, he came a very credible 22nd out of 91 competitors outright and still took out 3rd Junior in Standard division. In addition, Paul and his father also took out first place with his father in the inaugural family medal award which is the highest combined score of both parent and junior.
