Shooting Antique Webley MK1 smokeless reloads

Just a showcase today of my antique MK1 Webley from 1890-1892, using light smokeless handloads.

Load recipe is: 230g LRN, 3.4-3.6g of Win 231, CCI large pistol primers, using 45 auto rim or 45ACP cases (45 auto rim in this case)

Alternatively, I use the exact same load with 200g LSWC bullets as well, and they work just fine also.

Do you know what PSI roughly that’s running? I was looking to make a similar load with 455 but the data is much more scarce as I’m sure you know haha
