Douglas, Thanks for all the help and info. I have a post over on the British Militaria website concerning the markings on this rifle. I just added some extra pictures this morning. Thanks for the...

Bob,
I'm glad to hear everyone had such a good time. Just getting range time is great, but having family and friends with you makes it that much better. Hopefully the weather will be as nice...

Curator,
Thanks for all the help. I getting to borrow one of these molds from another forum member. After I fire form my cases I will try to cast some of these boolits and see how they...

Toolman,
Thanks for the info. I think after the cases are formed I will have a better idea about the boolit size I need to use. If I can patch them and use thumb pressure to seat it...

Bob,
Thanks for the offer. Thats very nice of you. Just send me a PM and we can work out the details.Larry

Ed,
Here are more pictures including some proof marks. The only mark I didn't take a picture of is on the top flat of the barrel. It is stamped PAK with the #18 underneath that, not sure what...

303Guy,
Thanks for the answer. I thought it was an IMR number, I bought some over the weekend. Hopefully I can load some rounds later this week and go to the range on Saturday. I will...

I didn't get a chance to load any rounds this weekend. Hopefully I can load some later this week and get to the range Saturday. I think I finally figured out how to post some pics, I hope this works...

I got my brass and dies on Friday, didn't try to load any rounds yet. The .458 bullets are a tight in the case necks. I think when I fire these the neck should expand out to the chamber. Then I need...

Bob, I really want to thank you for the invitation but I'm not going able to make it Sunday. One on my vehicles had to go in the shop today. I'm sorry for any trouble but maybe I can make it to the...

Bob,
I would say it's challenging, I don't know it I could even see the ram at 600yds without a scope. Larry

Curator,
A couple more questions I forgot to ask. The SR4759 powder is a IMR number? Also I was looking on the Midway website, they only list a Lee .476-400 mold. Is that the same or...

Bob,
I understand about the only computer deal, it's the same with me. I'm not sure about Sunday yet, but if I find out I will definitly get back to you before tomorow evening. I would love to...

Curator,
Thanks for the help and load info. That sound like a load that would be mild enough for everyone to shoot. I'll try to remember to aim at the belly button. I was hoping to get...

Bob, Thanks for the info on the match. I live about 120 miles from there, but I would still like to go check it out. I'm not sure how my weekend looks yet, need to make sure on any plans I don't know...

Thanks for all the help and info.
Curator, thanks for the tip about indexing the cases. I would have never figured that out by myself. When you use that Lee boolit do you PP or use it as cast? Which...

Bob,
I wish I had thought about the punch before I ordered my brass and dies, I could have saved on the shipping. Where is the Miami Rifle and Pistol club located? What time is the match,...

Ed, once again thanks for the help. I guess I need a punch for the wads. What size should I get and who has them? I used the link you posted for the felt, thanks by the way, but not sure what...

Pdawg shooter, Thanks for the info, I guess I really need to slug the barrel before I get ahead of myself. I put one of my .458 boolits nose first into the muzzle, it stopped at the first band. Does...

303 Guy,
Thanks for the hello. I'm looking forward to being able to shoot the Martini. I have never owned one of these and think it will be all kinds of fun. I just want to be able to...

Hello,
I just purchased a Martini-Henry Mark IV in 577-450. I have been over on the Single Shot forum asking about loads and bullets. Most of the loads mentioned use BP, I was also looking...

Ed, once again thanks for the help. So the carbine load is 70grs of 2f BP, some kind of fiber filler, the card wad,greased felt patch,card wad then a paper patched .458 cast boolit? Wads cut from a...

Ed, I have been over on the PP & Smokless forum reading the posts but have not ask any questions yet. I still can deciede which way to go, BP or smokeless. In a BP load the card wad is made of "card...

Once again a big thanks to everyone for their help. In a BP load the grease cookie-greased felt wad serves to keep the fouling soft? Is this needed in a smokeless load? Would straight wheel weights...

Enfield Man,
So you used 12gr Trail Boss, a 405gr boolit? What diameter did you patch the bullet to? Which Martini did you use to shoot that nice group?
