Antique Revolver

[Ganderite]

I have an antique Webley in 360 Rook caliber.

I can make good ammo for it, using .361" intended for the 38S&W

I do not understand the significance of the "antique" status. I think it means it is a firearm, but not a handgun, so I can shoot it on my backyard range, where I shoot my 22 and shotgun.

Does it have to be stored locked up?

Can it be stored loaded?

Are those "trick" questions?

Antique storage: unloaded.
Transportation of antique handgun: unloaded in locked container.

You can shoot it wherever it is lawful to discharge a firearm. So if you are allowed to shoot your .22 wherever you are shooting it then yes you can shoot that as well because it is an "antique".

The rcmp page has some info about antiques and their requirements on storage and transport.
