Well, this weekend I'm going to make serious efforts to sort out my Whitworth rifle. I found forty 545gr RN multi-groove bullets that had been sized at some time long ago, but not shot. They all measure exactly .451" BTW. Mixing up my usual Summer mix of lube and quadruple-dipping them, I then recalled that my sizer had gone missing, although not before getting used. Also missing was my spiffy and expensive Perdersoli lube/greaser. Sooooooooo, after they had gotten solid, I pushed each one, base first, holding it firmly by the nose, into a .45-70 Govt cartridge case in which they were a perfect fit. The close fit served to scrape off the excess lube, leaving them ready to shoot on Sunday!!
Result!!
I'll probably post a little video on Youtube, if I can persuade a buddy to take it.
