    .455 Webley Ammo

    I don't know the specifics of the .455 Webley but the SAAMI max allowed rim thickness for .38 Special is .059 inches and the minimum breechface clearance is .060 inches. That implies a clearance of .001 is sufficient.

    Yep. The modern definition of toxic is, "That meanie made me feel bad."

    Ours was so cold it would freeze solid on long road trips and stop working. :)

    .455 Webley Ammo

    Very interesting about the machined cylinder modification. From what I'm reading, it sounds like you could probably also use .45 Auto Rim cases. The Auto Rim loading is allowed to have 17,400 psi vs the 21,000 psi of the .45 Auto, so I would avoid factory loaded ammo unless it is specifically...

    .455 Webley Ammo

    Even if it would physically work, which it won't, .45 ACP is loaded to higher pressures than the Webley revolvers are allowed to use. They have a limit of 13,000 psi.

    .455 Webley Ammo

    No, but they list a velocity that matches the velocity of the original MKII load. Seems like a decent option.

    .455 Webley Ammo

    Well, I'm no expert... Just going off general firearms knowledge. The Fiocchi ammo was listed at 850 fps and from what I've read, the standard mil issue MkII ammo clocked in at under 700 fps.

    .455 Webley Ammo

    It feels reloading is kind of inevitable for you. I know Starline still makes .455 Webley brass but it's expensive. I looked up the Fiocchi load and it looks pretty hot for those old top break revolvers. I'd be leary, too. A lot of ammo loaded for antique cartridges is purposely loaded on the...

    It's incredible that you single guys actually get anything done at all without a woman around to tell you when you're doing it wrong. 😆

    In-N-Out shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho

    Fine, I'm a fool for using Arab and Muslim interchangeably which is admittedly imprecise. It feels like we're talking past each other, though. My point is that the fertility decline is not limited to Western nations. It's a global phenomena.

    In-N-Out shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho

    Where am I wrong? Arab and Muslim countries are experiencing major declines in fertility just like everywhere else.

    In-N-Out shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho

    I honestly didn't mean to cherry pick Bangladesh. It was the first one that came to mind. I'm pretty sure it's not unique. Africa is really the only place where the majority of countries have fertility rates are well above replacement, but you should know that a Somali birthrate of 5 is still a...
