I have a 455 Webley Mark VI. Haven't found any ammo for it in decades I bought it at a garage sale in Arlington Virginia in the early 70s. The standard ammo made under the name of Dominion a Canadian company under Colt. It used a 265 grain bullet that was basically a Minnie bullet due to excessive tolerance in barrel diameters. When the bullet hit something the "thimble" sides at the base would split and start to wrap around the sides.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. ATO has 50 rounds for $31. I've dealt with them a lot.
