some modern/old good news on 351 WSL
Yesterday (March 5) picked up 39 rounds of once-shot 351 WSL brass. It's his dad's old stuff, the seller said. That's the nice old news part.
The modern good news is that he says he also has his dad's old .352 mold for making bullets! I sure do want that, I said, figure a price and I'll buy it.
I don't pour molten lead, and have no intention of starting, just too much fuss for me. But I'm sure someone in Canada would like to acquire said mold and start making bullets HERE! We can export to the US, lol.
Once I get the mold I'll put out news to interested parties, and get this thing going.
Me, I have a very nice 1956 351 WSL, and now a decent supply of used brass, 60 new Jamison 351 cases, 13 old Dominion jacketed bullets, and a big bag of 180 grain lead bullets, plus new powder and small rifle primers. Time to load and up and try it out!
As for the brass-catcher issue, at the range there are big screen barriers to catch what's flung out by various other self loaders. I figure to just stand next to one of those to catch the 351s. Easy.
I'd prefer to shoot alone, outdoors, but may not be the best idea with this piece. No worries, have others for that.
