GRUMPA, be sure and let us know when you start making this brass...............
OH.....I've been making them alright. I'm in a bit of a quandary at the moment, do I want to make a thread on them right now or do I want to take a break.
I repaired a $300 steering cylinder on my tractor, got the front 1 acre mowed, re-did the 1/4 mile of driveway, worked the beginning 1 of 4 miles of the road, moved 600 cu ft of dirt and have more to do before winter sets in.
To date I've done a few K of those in both configurations, so I have the procedure down pretty well. So right now I'm out of the parent case, granted all I have to do is order more. These are NOT made from 45LC brass, these are made from 45 S&W brass which have a larger rim diameter than the 45LC does.

These .455's from Grumpa are outstanding! Using the .45 S&W works much better than the .45 Colt, there is simply no way to have it slip the extractor.

As an FYI for USA users, I obtained several hundred .455 MK I cases modified from Starline .45 Schofield brass from Reed's Custom Ammunition in Oklahoma City, OK http://shop.reedsammo.com/455-Eley-4...5eleybrass.htm Cost is $30 per 50 and he can do these in either the Mk I or Mk II length. These are head-turned to the SAAMI-CIL dimensions as to rim thickness.
He also has loaded ammunition of Mk I or Mk II type, loaded with smokeless powder and approximating the original ballistics. Very pleasant chap to deal with.
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
I'd be interested in 250. geoffsmiller at comcast dot net.
Latest info; I just found that Starline is making shorter 455 Webley MkII brass. Well, this one is not my cup of tea, but if some shooters want it, it's available:
• 250 ($105.00)
• 500 ($194.00)
• 1000 ($372.00)

Will inform a dealer in Canada, so if he can order it, and eventually sell world wide, this could be good news for our shooters in Europe/UK, Australia and New Zealand.
