Hey,

I'm looking for some reloading information on some oddball calibers and was hoping you folks might have some information.

Does anyone knowwhether Lyman or Lee, RCBS or Hornady might have these in their books so I can go out and buy 'em.

7.62x45
8x56R
455 Webley
8x27 Revolver



Thanks.
 
If you mean the 8mm French Lebel pistol round there's an extensive thread on loading for it here. I think in the antiques forum. Also info for the 455.

Cast Boolits forum has a great deal of information as do a variety of different sites around the web. While I would hesitate to trust any one recommended load you can look at a variety of different sources and figure out where to start. Cartridges of the World has some good info and some that is plain wrong.
That's pretty well how it goes with the unusual calibers. Not much in any manuals except sometimes ones that are 60 years old and they often aren't much help either.
 
Which version of the 455? There were two versions, a longer one that started as a black powder round and a smokeless one that was a bit shorter. If you can find a copy (online?) Handloader magazine from December 2016 has a reloading article for the Webley MKVI in 455.
