GONRA assumes you are taking about the .455 Webly & Scott Auto Pistol cartridge? If So:

Warm up yer lathe and make brass from .45 Long Colt.
(Cut an extractor groove, thin the rim a bit and trim case to length.)

Lyman cast bullet mould 457127 makes a nice 198 grain hemisperial nose .457 inch diameter bullet.
(Have no idea where to find this mould today!)

4.3 to 4.7 grains Bullseye powder functions well in both the Webley & Scott and US Colt auto pistols.

Good Luck!
