Moon clips for my webley??

I will try to go through my Shot show stuff, there was a guy down there selling them and I took his card. Send me a PM in few days if I don't post as I might forget.
 
Yes eBay. There are some very helpful people on there I bought some from a while ago. It may say that they only ship in the states, but if you ask most will ship them here.
 
I always buy mine on Ebay just search WEBLEY and the clips and a unloading tool will come up for sale.
at around $20 for clips and the tool included is very handy.
 
Or you could just buy 45 auto rim brass and dispense with the moon clips. It can be reloaded with 45ACP dies, the only thing necessary would be to buy the shell holder

The only problem with autorim brass is availability. I waited almost a year for my last order. You can get the moon clips in less than 2 weeks.

The moon clips with 45 acp brass actually work better than you'd expect. Like speed loaders but less messing around - the brass doesn't need to be released from the clip like it does with a speed loader.

Don't. Your revolver was not designed to handle .45 ACP, is nearly one hundred years old and is made of a malleable alloy, not steel. Further, the proof pressure rarely exceeds 13,000 PSI, whereas the working pressure of .45 Colt is 23,000 PSI.

Think very carefully before you shoot it again. If you want to continue using it, consider installing an unmodified cylinder and shooting .455 only.

where in the h*ll are you getting your "ideas " from .

the working pressure for 45 colt IS NOT 23000 psi . it is around 14,000 psi / 14, 000 cup .

The maximum pressure is 21,000, which is still beyond the proof pressure of a Webley, meaning that every shot severely taxes the revolver.

Sorry, I meant .45 ACP. My tablet auto corrected ACP to Colt.

so is it 21,000 psi or 23,000 psi ...... you seem confused
 
maxman1....with all due respect, folks have been shooting 45ACP loaded rounds in converted Webleys for ages. You need to check your facts before becoming an internet expert.
 
It sounds like a lot of people might be mixing "old figures" and new figures" for PSI?


.45 Colt alone has a huge range of PSI for loadings, given that the cartridge harkens back to 1873 but has also been goofed-around-with in "Ruger only" (Blackhawk/Redhawk) loadings, and then again in .454 loadings.


Similarly, the .45 ACP fed to an original 1911 is not the .45+ ACP being chambered these days!
