Webley .45ACP - told pressure is all that matters?

If you can find Trailboss, that's a good powder to use. I use it in my MK1 with MKII cases. I don't remember the load offhand but it's a very light load. Much lighter than shooting factory MKII ammo.

Certainly. I'm loading 3.1 grains of Trailboss under a 258.6 grain cast bullet (I just weighed one).
Cases are re-used Mark II Fiocchi.
Bullets are cast and I believe I got them from Jethunter on CGN.
I don't have a COL handy but with any lock a photo shows up below.
These are very soft shooting rounds. Apparently I didn't write down what they chronyed at, but I do remember that I would not want to be pushing them any slower.

Most kind of you! Do you figure there would be any harm in trying that powder charge with a 200gr bullet? I quite like the concept of getting this mold: https://www.mp-molds.com/product/455-webley-man-stopper-hollow-base-4-cavity-mold/

I don't profess to be an expert on .455 or Trailboss. But I did get that load recommendation from someone on CCN at some point. The only thing I can vouch for is that the load I posted seems to shoot perfectly well in my Mark I.
