Hi
looking for both of the above to get my pet M-H into action.

Donald

I am told .480 ruger fls dies work on formed cases. Sadly I dont have any formed cases, only 24GA CBC
brass to reform. So I am trying to make my own dies that fit a standard press 7/8x14.The large dies are an arm and a leg

Prices are hellish for the large dies - Lee at around £100 and other makes are way over. Even the brass is going to cost and like you am going for the budget 24g brass. Think I've found a source of preformed, so that is one stage I can avoid.

Had a look for .480 Ruger dies but have had no luck.... maybe just not looking in the right place at the mo

kynoch at Mildenhall in suffolk do mh and snider at a good rate i,ve been using both without any problems. if anybody wants a mh neck expander and a seating die make me an offer they,re brand new i dont use them

MrD...do a search on e-bay....there is a supplier in the US who sells 577/450 Martini Lee dies at quite reasonable prices...I bought a set last year and I think I paid about £85 including P&P and taxes...Lee Classic Cast press....good kit by the way....you can get from various suppliers here at about £100+......a google search will find them.

However, if you dont want to spend that much, its' quite possible to load for your Martini Henry without either dies or a press....

targetman, I have found a UK supplier for the dies at £81. I looked at US suppliers but the 'Excise Lottery' makes them uneconomical.

3bravo I'll email Kynoch about the brass. The preformed 24g is abot £3 per case
