I'd like to be in as good condition at my age, never mind 98!
Has it been refurbished?

NO, it's in original condition. All I have done is restitched a bit of the holster

I loved my .455 Smith&Wesson Triple Lock was No 340 of only 5000 but they banned handguns here and i could not shoot it any more eventualy took the money and ran.

What .455 load do you use Os?

I've tried experimenting with a few loads and currently using trail boss behind a variety of projectiles. I need to work out a load for a 260gr hollow based round nosed projectile. http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/hunting-shooting/reloading/cases/auction-898310824.htm

.454 flat nose cast lead 250 grain on top of 3.5 of trail boss, from memory.

Not quite the 'flying dustbin' but the load works OK.

starline make the cases and Hayes & associates stock them or can get them. About $90/100

Thanks Os. I purchased my M&S cases at a time when the Brits were trusted with pistols. Sad that is all lost now.
