Does anyone have a source for .455 cases and bullets?

Just gave away a couple of hundred cases last week....but no good to most folk as they were berdan type.

Bullets.?
If for a Webley, then no....as with the forcing cone design they need to be hollow base, as you no doubt know already.
If for a US made .455 you can use the Ideal/Lyman 454 424 mold.

Gave away the last of my olde "SilvaLube" hollow base bullets last week too (same chap...he has a couple of hungry .455's to feed!!)
Found them in an old overlooked box of gear from the pistol days.

Kept a few cases back for making dummy round pouch fillers for re-enactors.
My .455 New Service is with a mate on his S.7

IF I can source dies I have a Nalan that I could swage hollow based bullets on...just need the dies (or a means to manufacture them as not got a set I can copy....yet)

I have some M&S new cases available.

I usually cast, my Webley has the cylinders opened so prefers flat base bullets but I do have Webley HB moulds.

Those Silvalube bullets were useless, never got them to shoot in any calibre and never knew anyone else that got them to shoot either.

Thanks, Adam - I'll keep that in mind if I can source the bullets. I need around 75 cases and 100 bullets. They are to be made into dummies for a movie project.
