Ganhendra type rifle If shooting a Ganhendra type rifle the size of the bore does vary due to the hand made nature of its manufacture, some have a true Martini Henry size bore but many of them are either slightly smaller or larger. Slightly smaller being the norm. Many Ganhendra owners will patch .457 bullet up to .462 ish, rather than use the Martini Henrys .468/470 bullet.

Custom Martini Henry Neck sizing and Decapping Die in stock
This Martini Henry Neck sizing and decapping die is fully adjustable to allow the whole neck to be resized or just some of it. The die comprises of a lee 480 ruger die that resizes the neck to .50" on the outside and about .468/.470 on the inside depending on the thickness of the brass. this is ideal size for the Martini Henry rifle. By screwing the lee 480 ruger in and out of the main body the length of neck resized can be altered. The main body is custom made from Pet-G Polymer and is threaded to fit 1.1/4" presses (the same as the Lee Martini Henry dies). The final piece is a custom made extra long decapping pin. Due to the construction of this die no lubrication is needed during the resizing process £90.00 Please be aware neck tension with a .468 bullets is likely to be light with reformed Magtec brass, If you want a tight fit order the Ganhendra die which gives a slightly smaller neck. These can also be supplied to neck size for the Ganhendra Rifle. Unless you tell me otherwise it will be supplied for the Martini Henry. Ganhendra Dies made to order.

The cup is put in the cordless drill and the case is put in side the cup, the case is then rotated and the blowlamp flame is applied to the neck of the case.

Lee
Bullet Moulds are a great choice for reloaders looking for a
quality mould at an affordable price. Lee machines their mould blocks
from aluminium making them rust resistant. Aluminium moulds heat up and cool
down faster than iron or steel moulds and good bullets can usually be produced
only after a few casts. In addition, aluminium blocks are one-third the weight
of iron or steel mould blocks offering the bullet caster less fatigue during
extended casting sessions. To ensure the best possible bullets, mould block
halves are clamped together then lathe-bored for unmatched roundness and size
control. Weights given are Lee's weights with suggested alloy; actual weight may
vary due to the alloy mixture used. see under bullet
casting

Reloading.Org.uk BP Pan Bullet Lube
This is a black powder bullet lubricant/fouling softener is similar in consistency to Cheddar cheese and is made to our own formula. The Lube is intended to be melted and put in to a shallow tray or pan that has the bullets stood in and filled up to the top of the grease groves. When cool the bullets can be removed by pulling them out with needle nosed pliers, you can also remove the solid lube from the tray and push them out. The lube can also be used to make grease cookies for black powder cartridge guns. It is based on beeswax and olive oil and smells of wintergreen. we recommend melting this lube either by heating the lube in a container sitting in a water bath such as a saucepan on a stove or in a microwave. Extreme care should be taken not to overheat this product as it will catch fire if heated above its flash point of approximately 200° c, It melts at less than the boiling point of water (100°c) hence the use of a water bath. 12 oz block measuring 138 mm x 62 mm x49 mm (all measurements are approximate) See under Black powder

Kapok
fibre is light weight: the hollow core makes kapok very light. It is extremely
waterproof and resists clumping, it bouncing back to the original shape.
Kapok is also environmentally friendly and is a natural biodegradable fibre.
Due to its wispy nature fibre are flammable and most will burn up
during the combustion process. This makes it ideal for filling the
space over black powder in Martini Henry or Snider rounds.
