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.

How fast are the rounds going do you figure?

About 550 or so? Pretty mild, but I got a chronograph recently so pretty soon I’ll have a definitive answer

Gotcha, thanks for the answer. Saw the recoil (or lack thereof) and the bullet grain and figured it had to be going pretty slow. Sweet piece man.
