I was facinated by the wsl and accumulated a cache of them ,from top to bottom 1)30 carbine 2)32wsl 3)35wsl 4)351 wsl 5)351wsl 6)401 7)44amp.To make the cases I ended up getting a unimat lathe to turn parent brass into the spec reqired .They all function as they should and don't group to bad for what they are aprox 2" at 50 yards average
The whole herd work and made up a shootable quanity of ammo for each so they are useable .Just a lot of fun to shoot and not too bad to work on once you figure out how to assemble the springs .
first pic the rifles and second the ammo

Sir, you are the Jesus of cool.

As to the issue of accuracy, it was good enough for the Barrow Gang. That is good enough.
 
Thanks for sharing - these are cool old guns.

Better yet, you shoot them. Strictly a hand-loading proposition, but you've not let that stop you.

I use mostly H4227 for powder, and only cast bullets in mine. I see use jacketed - do you size the 35 cal ones down to 0.352" or did you find a cache of originals?
 
Hi , I size down for the 35 cal and was able to get some berrys plated in 180gr rn.32&35 wsl are the easiest as no lathe work
32wsl 32-20 win size ,trim , load use bullets for the 32win special 321.
35wsl I use 9mm win mag brass ,push all the way in to sizer die and pop out ,trim and load
.30carbine over the counter already loaded
.351 wsl-357max and lathe rim and grove
.401either 762x39 trim web and fireform or 414 super mag trim rim and grove ,bulets I also size down 41 mag bullets
.44amp starline brass and load
Andy I beleive I even got some 414 from you for the 401 and 4227 is the powder for these and lil gun in the 44
 
There was an old guy who had one in the village I grew up in.

There was one small problem. He was also the town's barber and I had quite getting my hair cut by him or anyone else in 1968, so by 1970 he wouldn't speak to me.
