Webleys can be powder position sensitive especially in .45 acp with a light load. I used wolf 230 grain lead rn that used to be available on marstar. It was pretty hot but safe for a webley. Around 770 fps with 230 gr.

I use Rusty Wood’s house cast lrn 230g projectiles, and they’re spectacular. May I ask what powder you used?

That sounds about right from the loads I remember off the top of my head (not home at my reloading books but those two powders in similar charges came up as some of the best). Thank you!
