455 webley brass

[KotKotofeich]

Know of anyone that has it in stock?

canadaammo is out of their fiocci ammuunition

rusty wood doesn't list it and neither does tradex (of the people that used to have it)

Try double tap for starline

A month back both Wolverine and Calgary Shooting Centre had stock. CSC said they had "lots" in stock.

Good luck.

 

[KotKotofeich]

Double tap said 'no'.

Wolverine is out.

CSC still has some Fiocchi ammo so if I don't find any brass, Ill go with that, thanks!

 

[Ve3xti]

Yeah sorry, meant Fiocchi. I didn't look very hard for brass, I bought 2 boxes and hope to reload from there.

When did Starline start making 455 webley brass??

For years, just a periodic run they do.

I've been buying from Starline for years, and been loading 455 webley for decades - and I've never heard of Starline making 455 Webley brass.

Are you sure it's Starline you're thinking of?? Hornady used to make brass but they stopped a few years ago, Bertram occasionally makes some ridiculously expensive 455 brass. Maybe it was one of them you were thinking of? Because i'm fairly certain Starline has never made 455 brass. Wish they did, though.

I could swear I saw 455 starline brass before too, but it's not even listed on the Starline website, so I think jethunter is right.

I believe fiocchi brass is sp, while hornady and bertram is lp, which would be better.

You know, it just might have been starline 45 LC turned down, I would have to dig it out and look to be sure. Doesn't help it's also called 455 Colt.

might be worth while to check out bullet barn .

Almost as cheap to buy the fiocci and shoot it then reload it, the brass when available is expensive!

This is the best option we have for now, IMO.

Possibly it was Starline 45 Auto Rim that had been converted to 455 Webley. I made some myself a few years ago. It's quite easy to do if you have a small lathe. The rim needs to be thinned from the front and the cases trimmed. Works fine. Large primer pocket, too.

STARLINE has never made and does not currently make 455 WEBLEY brass.
HORNADY used to make it but quit making in 2013 and sold off what they had by late 2013.
BERTRAM BRASS Australia makes 455 WEBLEY MK I brass ( not actually head stamped but that is what it is ). They are out of stock and waiting to produce it again in future. no ETA
FIOCCHI does make loaded ammo but no source for just the new brass anywhere.

Buffalo Arms lists 455 Colt, but is currently out of stock. Trick is to organize a group buy. Brass has to go though an exporter to leave USA. Fees plus freight drive the price out of sight for small amounts.

I'll check when I get back home in a month, I thought it was Starline but I guess not.

 

[tokguy]

I did my first shooting 455 through thinned and trimmed Hornady 45 Schofield brass. Used a drill press and a file in conjunction with a digital caliper and a small tubing cutter.
A PITA but got it shooting.

I have a box of 50 once-fired Dominion CIL ".455 Colt" brass. they're in good shape in the original yellow and blue box with the red primer lacquer still intact

PM me if you're interested...
