    Webley .455 MKII reloading

    For those reloading Webley .455 MKII (Fiocchi brass, 260 grain projectiles) with Trail Boss - are you using 3.8 grains? Or if not, what are you putting in?

    Cheers

    Down Pink's memory lane with .455

    Kind of on topic still... in this video, from 8:00 on, it looks like Pink discovers a box of .455 Webley.




    This scene starts with a train rolling over a .455 cartridge that Pink with his schoolmates placed on the track. Looks like it had a blackpowder loading, but maybe I'm too pedantic.




    In this video, Pink's dad shows how to clean and load a .455, starting from 2.00 on. The jerky way he cleans the chambers and barrels beforehand speaks volumes about what he is feeling in his guts.
