But for the most part, I'm a long gun fellow. However, week before the Quemado gathering an older lady and her older kids brought in a rather eclectic hodge podge of firearms to sell. ( Astra 600 and Parabellum P-08 were loaded). And the MP28 ( or 18??? I'm not up on my early SMG's) was apparently operational. But that's another story for another time. What I got out of the deal was this; Webley #1 Royal Irish Constibulary in .450 Adams. I just couldn't pass it up! Last edited by kaywoodie; 08/28/14.

I always admire them when I see them in the movies about those bygone days. Zulu comes to mind.

The lines on those Webleys are mega cool, and look to me like they would be pretty natural to point and shoot with. You might try the old Western Scrounger for ammo. A google search would probably turn some up already loaded and ready to go. Best of luck, and I hope we get a firing/range report back someday.

Okay so I'm trying to recall this from memory (and I don't have a good memory anymore). I made 2 boxes of .450 Adams cartridges for a friend about 20 years ago. IIRC I used cut down .45 Colt cases and didn't have to do anything to the cases but we did have to turn down a .45 ACP crimp die to crimp the bullets. I used a 260 grain cast RNFP (RCBS 45-250-FN) that was sized to .451 to match the cylinders. I had always been told that the .450 Adams revolvers were .455, but when I slugged the barrel the diameter was .449, so I sized accordingly.
