Of all the powders that are not available right now (Bullseye and Unique among them), Winchester 231 seems to be an exception. Any experience with 231 in 45AR for the Webley...and other suitable...

Agreed, no worries. The MkVI was proofed for smokeless.

Thanks, it is good and had already looked at it a couple of times!

The Mk I was fielded in 1890/91 as a black powder cartridge. The Brits changed from black powder to Cordite in the mid- to late 1890's. There was a transition period between MkI and MkII cartridges...

Thank you very much.

Is the 3.5 Bullseye for a MkII case or for the 45 AR Webley load?

Thanks for the above comments using Bulleye and Unique. Rintinglen's bullet is 230 grain and smkummer's is, I believe, 250 grain? Although having zero reloading experience, I do read that the...

Thanks to all for this data which makes me a more comfortable...but still always cautious. I notice that Outpost 75 also tested loads with Bullseye. Does either Unique or Bullseye (or other) better...

I have a 1916 Webley Mk VI which was converted (countersunk chambers, not shaved) for 45 Auto Rim. I've been scouring multiple fora on the subject of handloading for this revolver. It is the main...

Thanks again, gentlemen, for the good info. Per PB24's interest in a possible repro Webley Auto, I have not heard. Webley & Scott in the UK doesn't have anything on their website, but Webley in...

It is an added plus that these Webleys can still be effective today.

Thanks Hogpost. What diameter bullets do you typically load for your MkIV when using the 45 ACP dies?

I appreciate all this very helpful information. - Regards

But I still use .455 dies?

You mention the .76" length MkII case, but I will be loading 45AR which is about .9". Wouldn't the basic procedure be to move the ram all the way up with holder, screw the sizing die down until...

Exactly why I'm getting into the hand loading!

Thanks for this info, Outpost75! This is using the Starline .45 AR brass? Would these spacers be be appropriate for use with the Lee .455 dies? Don't these spacers perform the same functions as...

Thanks, Robert. Very much appreciated.

I am new to this Forum, have never done any reloading and have not gotten to the equipment stage yet (but it will be an inexpensive single stage press). I'll take my first plunge by hand loading...
