Hey, @wazza2222 I’ve sold my webley, i have Bertram cases, used and new, would you be interested?
I’d be interested mate but I suspect the shipping will make it prohibitive… How much you asking (and cost of postage to 3883 NZ)?
Waz
Oh, damn, yeah, NZ might be hard!
if its only brass js would be possible imo. im in process of expoprt 2 bsa rare 1923 22lr magazines to wisconsin usa. was lots of paper work as gun parts. @wazza2222 find out if you need import permit for brass. thats where id start. if not required i see no reason just post them. but a call to boarder force to confirm would pay.
as i said get wazza to ask his end if he can buy brass from australia with out an import permit. if he can you ring abf or go online and look. or ask do you need export permit to send. if no permits required imo you can just do your deal box up brass and post off. if customs nz open they should just reseal and forward to wazza.

Definitely fks the idea.
Follow up post for those interested. I bought a Garmin Chrono and threw a few down range thinking maybe I was overdosing the rounds but…average velocity 548 fps, spread 37 fps and standard deviation 14 fps.
Now I am thinking I might boost a little and see what happens? Not a lot, aim for maybe 600 fps?
What speed was the original ammo chrono’d at?
650 but that is out of a MkVI with a 6 inch barrel

It depends what powder you’ve got - from what I gather, the “best” powders for reloading .455 Webley aren’t available in Australia, and because the Mk II case is so short, that complicates things a bit further too.
I am putting Bullseye into modified Bertram cases shortened to MkII length (.750)
I have bags of brass at MkI length so might play around with AP70 in some of these. My reasoning is that the 7.5 inch barrel is slowing the slugs too much and taking the sting out of them. 550 is okay but I think 600 might be better…
AP-70 in a Mk I case might work - I’ll be interested to hear how you go!
