I've made my own shotshells _from scratch_ to use in a webley, but I am absolutely not comfortable sharing my data or suggesting it's good to try - there were a lot of changes throughout the time Webley revolvers were made, some may be weakened by the use of full load 45acp etc etc. I also used a mk6 to start the experiment before trying with a more expensive antique...
