just checking in.  have browsed the site before but was today looking for some reloading info and figured i'd jump in.  

have  several Lithgow MK III*'s, a Martini Enfield carbine (NZ marked), several Martini Henry rifles, couple Enfield revolvers,  and a bunch of Webleys ..  also a stack of bayos hanging around..  

mostly I reload in BP for the Martini's and some pre 1900 .455 webley handguns, decided that the .303 was to be my next reloading adventure so i could enjoy the Martini carbine and the Lithgow's a bit more.   

in any case, he!!o and thanks for having me..

Welcome to the looney bin. I see your from Etlanna..that place wot general Sherman done burnt. (Methinks theres a special place in hale fer him!)

No matter..that was then this is now! You'll find a ton of good useful info here!

(Course, if the south had LEE Enfields back then - things woulda bin different!)

but hoadie , they did have them - they were muzzle loading P1853s but they were enfields , true the Lees we think of would have changed the tide quickly , 

if you recall-check it out- the south and england were quite cozy back then , a bit of revenge for the revolt and 1812 embarrassments me thinks but thus the reason for that blockade off the coast at supply points and all that naval development evolving in armor plate ,
