Webley Ammo.

Post by darthjones »

Hi! I got a Webley from Lee years and years ago. Where might be the best place to get some .455 ammo... ???

I have never fired it but it is in GREAT condition and I thought I might give it a whirl.

He sold me the holster along with it so it looks awesome. Original holster and everything...

Midway Gun parts sells cartridges. They're new...If you do a search for .455 Webley, all sorts of places pop up for antique and new ammo.

And as for things like old Webleys of unknown provenance, ABSOLUTELY have a qualified gunsmith check it thoroughly before taking it out to the range!

IIRC, Fiocchi is the only company making factory produced .455 ammo for Webleys. Check at Old Western Scrounger and at Midway USA.
