Soundguy. I've got a Webley. Been shaved. I have shot exactly 12 regular 45 ACPs in it. 45 ACP is about 50% more powerful than 455 Webley, and I saw no reason to beat the old girl up.

I load 200 grain lead SWC bullets in front of 3.0 of Bullseye. Easy on the gun. Easy on the pocketbook. Accurate as hell.

If your gun has been shaved, the 455s you have will not work. Excessive headspace.

If you buy 45 AR brass and reload light loads for your Webley, it will thank you.

Factory 45 AR (if you can find it) is just as powerful as factory 45 ACP, and so, like the ACP, is too powerful for the Webley. It's like shooting proof loads again and again and again.

You want to shoot factory AR in your revolver? Get yourself a good strong Smith.
