Try 45 Auto Rim cases. I would also recommend never ever fire 45 ACP level loads in a Webley. Download, download a lot. It does not take much to bend the topstrap of a Webley, these are very weak actions.

I used the largest lead bullets I could buy, 454", they shot OK, the rechambering job was poorly done, and I used a light load of Bullseye.
