Webley day at the range
Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2008 11:02 am
My son and I were out at the range early this AM. I had worked up some loads for a couple of my Webleys. We thought we would try them out and share the info and experience.
First up is a load for the WG Army.
11 grains Triple 7 with a cast .455 HBRN lead bullet 260 grains. Once fired Webley case
Average velocity 532ft/sec High 551 low 489 Nice mild load
Second is a load for my shaved MKIV
4 grains unique with a cast .455 FB lead bullet 250 grains Auto Rim cases
Average 540ft/sec High 568 low 523 also seemed a nice mild load.
Third is my standard reload for my Colt and MKVI
These were fired in my Colt.
4.3 grains unique with a cast .455 FB lead bullet 250 grains. Once fired standard Webley case.
Average 622ft/sec High 640 low 605 Functions great.
Fired factory Fiocchi in my Colt for comparison
Average 675ft/sec High 684 low 657
Used a Master Chrony set up 5 feet from muzzle.
We also took out the .32 and .25 Webley which we shot just for fun
