Can't recall the cost of the M&S brass, it was a loong time ago but they are still going strong.
Also bought a couple of boxes of Fiocchi loaded rounds at one point (they were expensive!) and used the brass from them for reloading too.
Good tip about working the .45 Colt cases, thanks for that. R.P. cases for that round are cheap locally and always available.
And I too also have a .22 trainer insert for the Mk.VI, interesting that the chambers are bored eccentric in the cylinder to allow the firing pin to work on the rimfire cartridges, the bullet has to make a slight "turn" as it exits the chamber and enters the forcing cone! Only the Brits would think of this, but it works!
