I sympathize with your challenge in making this sport / pastime affordable.

Trying to understand how this midway UK operates or functions. Do I understand correctly that if you are ordering from the UK website that there are still additional duties or fees that apply on top of listed price?

Wally i would like to add to your (and others) Google mojo ;-)

When you type in the search field then add the following "site:uk" then Google will only search www's with the suffix .uk. So if you put "17 hornet die set site:uk" in it will give you all the uk sites that has anything on 17 Hornet die set.

https://www.google.dk/search?q=17+ho...CcH8ywPdu4GwAw

And the results:
£38.80 inc WAT = http://www.dauntseyguns.co.uk/prodde...46118&cat=3000

If all else fails contact spud, he'll help you!

The work has started but no fun yet i had 25 cases fired in henry,s gun so started preping them.
I was supprised how hard it was to F/L and de-prime them.
They are very tight and i was concerned i would get a stuck case i put plenty of lube on a lot more than i needed for any of my 17A/H cases.
I also noticed that if i use the 1.723"coal the bullet is fully in the whole of the neck in my 17A/H its only 1/3" into the neck. I have made up 3 rounds with my own powder N 120 i put 11grs in my gun and it fills the case up to the start of the shoulder but 10.8grs in this case came upto the base of the bullet.
Will try them shortly
