It is still my intention to get a 318 westley richard or accelerated express reamer at some stage… I let you know when it happens.

@Friwi I decided to try the 45 Silhouette case
Formed one from 45-70 brass
Shortened to 1 1/2"
Sized in shortened for
There was a small base doughnut to remove from the base

Case is basically a 45-45
Not much different from 45 Long Colt but the 45-70 parent brass is good for a lot of pressure

R- 45 silhouette
M- 45-60
L- 45-70
