    .455 Webley Brass. . .Coming?

    A public service announcement for my Webley shooting brothers:

    I inquired with Starline last week about the possibility of a run of .455 MKII brass and received a reply that if their ducks align properly, they are hoping to do a run in early 2018. This will be large primer pocket format.

    It'll be nice to beef up my lowly stash of Hornady hulls - especially with the Mihec MKIV FNHB group buy about to wrap up. . .

    Keep your eyes peeled lads!
    WWJMBD?

    This is great news.

    I hope they decide also to make a run of the longer Mk1 cases, which would be better suited for loading BP in the earlier Marks of revolvers.

    The .455 Colt and .455 Eley are the longer 0.87" case like the Mk1.
