Thankyou Lance for these very enjoyable posts.
I have always loved the 455.
I use to have a Mk VI Enfield made one, it was a minter not many rounds through it at all.
Came from an old Ladys estate after she died it had been her husbands.
I had a few friends in my area at the time who were shot gun dealars only, so when
they got pistols in in a deal, they came my way at a very cheap price.. Being in the police at the time I got my FAC
modified very quickly with no problem. When the ban came in I had over 30 pistols and space for over 50 on my FAC.
So my heart was so badley broken when we lost them, it was not a good time for me as wife also devorced me that year.
I had her deactivated ( the 455 not the wife) when we lost the pistols. I was so p***** off doing it.
It was fantastic to shoot, so gentle, I reloaded with Herco powder, I used it in all my pistol rounds.
I still have the M & S hollow base bullets and the Mk II cases I bought from M & S most are un fired,
never know when I might want them.
