.455 Webley Ammo

You are welcome. Next would be getting some Moon clips for your Webley because you can't use one without the other. The 3 round clips look interesting. The auto rim case is probably the best solution. The moon clips for the M1917 S&W, or maybe the S&W 25-2, are a starting point. I see gun shows and reloading in your future

That obvious, huh? <G>

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.

Worth a try, then. Thank you.

You can get a lee single stage kit for fair money, and it will last a lifetime.

Until I looked at that link I don't think getting into reloading would have occurred to me. <G>

The inital cost of entry isn't nearly as high as many assume.. Loading straight walled pistol cartridges is quite simple too.

I can't believe how expensive components are these days, though. Gone are the days of free lead wheel weights from tire shops, $5 a pound surplus powder and $8 per thousand primers. Everything is just about an order of magnitude more than when I first started. When you can even find it.

I even got yelled at when policing my brass at an indoor range recently. They think it's theirs once it hits the floor.
