working up some cartridges for my webley revolver. It's been shaved for headspace fro moon clips, so i'm going to cut some 45acp shells down this evening so that i can load them like factory 455 instead of trying to match pressure for a lightened 45acp load.
I may also cut down some 45 AR to do the same without the use of moon clips. I have some hornady loads of 455 for a un-shaved colt pistol, but obviously they are of no use to my shaved webley.
I flipped open my speer, sierra, lyman, lee, nosler, and hornady manuals and to my surprise.. no 455 entries at all!!
went to the powder website ( imr/win/hogdon ) and no data on that load available either.
For tonight, I just need some trim data for cutting down some 45acp brass
if any of you have the min/max trim #'s I''' make notes to my inside cover insert on my books.
Not tonight I guess.. But I really need some laod data too.. was dismayed to not find it on the array if industry books I invested in.
my 12th edition cartridges of the world doesn't even directly mention it except to say that you can cut a 455 webley case down a tad to make 45 webley brass. go figure
need help.. have a coupl ehours of non work / non wife time tonight I'd love to use to make brass and do some rifle cartridges up too.
I'm 'guessing' case length has to be in the vicinity of .758 and coal 0f 1.245 ( i know.. will matter less and depend on projectile used.. etc.. matters less.. etc.)
thanks
