Thread: Anyone loading for 455 Webley?

Anyone loading for 455 Webley?

I do but not much. They're a bit of a popgun

Do you use a 455 die set or 45LC with ACP seater?

Ive got a 455 die set

I found a Lee set on the shelf yesterday - appears to have 45LC dies (D9 and F9) in it - the only difference was the expander die having a shofter body or longer insert.

Appears the shell holder is 303 so will dig through my dies and see what I have and if it works.

Shot it yesterday, big pop gun alright lol

Managed 5 shots @ 25yds in about 4" with 1 going astray (off paper??)
POI was 8" left and 8" low of point of aim.

What proj do you load in yours?

I haven't used it much.I used 180s but I cant remember what it shot like.Mines a s&w so should be a bit stronger than a webley.
I've got some of the original ammo its got a 267gr hollow base projectile

I Have come Fiocchi 262gr factory ammo for the brass at the mo.
I might just load 230gr RN from my 45 stash in it

A heavier projectile will shoot closer to point of aim than your 230gr.
Gunrunner in Ashburton sells the correct hollow base 265gr. but they're fairly expensive.
Great fun to shoot.
