Any of you guys have any info on a Webley Mk IV chanbered for .320? I can't find much in the way of production dates, history, value, and what it shoots. I have been told 32 S&W is identical to the British .320 cartridge?
Thanks for the help,
Jeff

"Cartridges of the World" (7th Ed.) pp. 226--

Shows the caliber to have been developed c. 1870, and that its first platform ws the Webley revolver--no further info on the Webley. Dimensional tables show an outside lubricated/heeled bullet design, bullet nominal dia. .317", case nominal dia. .320". "The 320 served as the inspiration for the 32 Short Colt" (Barnes).
