    Wobbly Webley cylinder

    Hi all, how much cylinder movement is safe in a Webley mk6? I know they always have a lot when not clocked, but even after cocking, letting the hammer down, and keeping the trigger held back it seem to have about 1mm of rotation left and right. Is that safe to shoot, and if so, at what point is it not? I have little experience with revolvers, but I've heard that if the timing is out they can spit lead out the cylinder gap as it shaves off of the bullet.
    I know there must be a few .455 Shooters out there as the Fiocchi importer told me he brings in a couple thousand rounds a year!
    Cheers, Tom
