Whats 45 cal do you do and whats finished size?
Anythign in 455?
I'm looking at buying a mould for my Webley but not alot of interest in setting up for casting as that will be the only gun shot with lead - and rarely also
I'm pretty sure a friend of mine casts for his webley. I'll call round and see him this week when I get a chance and get the specifics.
I know he makes .455 webley cases from .45 LC brass by trimming to length and using a resizing die (and hammer!) that he had made.
He has several sizers for .45 cal, .451, .452 and .454 I believe. I've played with his 320gn Hollow Point .45 mould working on a subsonic
load for a silenced .45Long colt rifle I had built. Also tried his keith style .45 250gn mould, and Lee .45 250gn (approx) RNFP, all of which we sizes to .452.
They migth do the trick - the Webley mould is a copy of the orginal bullet style.
I might get the mould anyway and do a deal with someone for some boolits to be made for me.
If you want to go down that track, send me a PM and I'll pass on my mates phone number. May be worth giving him a call.
I'm still away overseas with wk for a couple more wks - see how i get on when home
Thanks thoguh :) - will be in touch
