Hi, Snowman:
  A friend scrounged enough .455 Colt Dominion brass at gunshows to keep his Webley shooting. C-I-L (Dominion) made it up to the `70s or later. Their 1971 catalogue says it's "For revolvers designated .455, 455 Eley, 455 Webley MK II or British Service Revolver No.1" If you buy it, I'll get his load data for you.

Bye
Jack

Hi, Snowman:
   Alliant has some loads for 220 and 265 grain bullets with most of their fast powders. 4.4 grains of Unique gives 800 fps with the 200 and 4.3 grains of Unique gives 710 fps with the 265. 6.8 grains of Blue Dot gives 770 fps with the 265. This is equal to Dominion's load. CCI 300 primer, case make not given.

   My friend uses a Lyman 457196 bullet, which at 290 grains, shoots high unless he loads really slow. Lyman doesn't make that mould now anyhow.

   I'm not a cast bullet expert, but I'd suggest a 250 grain bullet sized .454 or unsized. Somebody here probably has a better idea.

    I know all about Canadian handgun licensing. It will be a LITTLE bit easier with your next one. You are a member of the National Firearms Association, aren't you? If you're not, click here:
