Colt New Police from 1905 chambered for .32 Colt long. ![[Linked Image]](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h225/FalMike/newpolicejpg.jpg) Needed to come up with some heeled bullets, so I made a die that would swage heels on .32 caliber hollow based wadcutters. ![[Linked Image]](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h225/FalMike/heel4.jpg) Drop it on some parallels in a Kurt milling machine vice, stick in a wadcutter,..*OOMPH!*,..there ya got it,..a heeled hollow base wadcutter. ![[Linked Image]](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h225/FalMike/heel3.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h225/FalMike/heel2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h225/FalMike/heel1.jpg) Ready fer bid'niz. ![[Linked Image]](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h225/FalMike/wadc1.jpg) [img] http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h225/FalMike/spout.jpg[/img] CCW with panache' [img] http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h225/FalMike/holster.jpg[/img]

Bad ass!
Why do the bullets for these need to be heeled? I'm not familiar with the cartridge.

Travis That's just the way they used to do it. Lots of old cartridges used heeled bullets.

Bristoe,
Given your obvious skill and love of machine work ect, have you never thought of becoming a gunsmith?
Regards,
Peter

That's really cool. No doubt it's really fun to shoot that old-timer too.

The problem now is chasing down brass.
I bought an old (partial) box of .32 Colt long ammo off of gunbroker. Had to pay a dollar a piece for them and they were all duds, but I just wanted the brass, anyway.
The brass started splitting on the second reload, so I gave it up.
There's a full box of Remington on there now,..but they want $80 for it.
