Looking for .45 acp and .450 ammo loaded for Antique revolver

[Pre-1898]

Can anyone. Tell me if there is any source for .45 acp and .450 lead ball ammunition to shoot in an antique revolver ?

Few years back there was a Member here on CGN who was commercially licensed to make them but I have lost his info.

Any info would be appreciated.

Rustywoods trading company sells antique-safe ammo. Why not make your own though? It’s part of the antique experience!

I make my own 455 Webley Mk2 and 450 Adams. As john94 said it is easy and way less money 1/3 the price or less than buying from RW.

Jethunter sells lead bullets for those calibers. His prices are reasonable.

The thing is that I dont shoot much and I am not equipped for nor have reloading experience. I would have to buy all the reloading equipment and get to know how to reload. Just to shoot. Maybe about 300-400 rounds a year.

Rusty has 455 WEBLEY MKII 250gr BLACK POWDER at $101.70 after taxes for 50 rounds so 350 rounds would work out to $711.00 plus shipping. A simple reloading setup for this caliber which will also work for your .450 Adams would be cheaper and the enjoyment and satisfaction of making your own ammo is a bonus.

I'm making this stuff with plated berries bullets currently for $14 a box after tax! You could spend way less than $700 for reloading gear.

That's a lot for an antique revolver.

Bullet Barn used to sell oddball and black powder ammo. Not sure if they still do after the changes in ownership.
