working on an antique project here and I'm trying to figure out where to get a reamer for .455 webley.
If anybody knows about doing this please send help. Can i use .455 webley shells in a cylinder that are bored out with the .45 ACP reamer? like I said, any suggestions at all would be great.


Thanks
 
Dingus has posted several times that 45ACP works well in a 455 cylinder and vice versa. I would say that the reamers should therefore work. Maybe pm Dingus and confirm though.
 
The Webley revolvers had a .454 bore I believe, but .452 throats, designed for hollow base lead bullets, which expanded. If you were shooting .452 sized lead bullets already, should a .45 ACP reamer not suffice? Giving a final answer is well outside my realm of expertise.
