i want to reload my webley brass with a slightly larger bullet than is normally used. lee sells this really cool mold that makes a 300 grain bullet in .452 diameter. traditional webley bullets are 265 grain and .454 diameter. does anyone think because of these small differences that this is a bad idea?

also, any idea of how many grains of powder i should be using when reloading these? the gun i have is a 455 garate (sometimes called eibar 455), from 1914. it is a spanish gun that was used by the english during WWI. thanks for anything anyone can tell me.
