Just ordered a set of Lee dies from Brownells France (Used to be Midway). €163 inc p&p /£122 / $183
Think that's everything I need
Got to figure out a way of getting Elaine to agree to a Martini Henry IV now

Considering the price of those dies, it's getting into your pocket as well as your blood.

I looked on Lees site and they were $122 but we get screwed here in Europe for anything from the US
Kranks in the UK quoted about €125 / $138 but that was only for a 2 die set and no shell holder.
Looking on the bright side though, it's a great learning curve

I'd say it has enough official marks and proofs. Looks like some minor pitting....which I would think is to be expected. I look forward to seeing what kind of shooter it is in pictures of your future paper target.
