advice on making .455 Webley brass?

[Mr. Buttons]

Can anyone provide advice on making .455 Webley brass? Can this be easily formed from another more commonly available type (ie, .45 Colt, etc)

thanks and regards

I have made it from .45 Colt, by lathe turning the rim thinner from the front, and trimming.

 

[Mr. Buttons]

The lathe turning part is where I am SOL.
I was hoping for an easier approach...a guy can dream, no?

.455 brass can be had. Not the cheapest, but easier than making it. Altered .45 Colt brass is also available.
Fiocchi ammuntion is available.
I've also made it from 7.62x54R brass, but while that is possible, it is a bit of an ordeal.

BC redneck and Rainershine (SaSK.) are both Graf's dealers and sell Hornady .455 mk11 brass. nice stuff.

If you compare 45 Colt brass and 45 S&W Schofiled which one is better suits to make brass cases for Webley Mark 2 in .455?

45 Auto Rim brass works well and requires less trimming than 45 Colt brass but again you have to thin the rims on the front side.

The Hornady brass is good, works for me
