Im writing this only to get a confirmation from someone with experience with the Mark 6 Webley .455 (converted to American 45 ACP)

From what I gather, I can load 180-230gr lead (reduced charge) loads in a 45 ACP casing. Now do I also need the casings clipped with (half/full moon clips) before firing the modified cylinder?

The alternative seems to be to buy and use 45 auto rim casings with the same load. Because theyre rimmed, can they be used w/o the clips?
A concern here is rim thickness.

Anyone willing to do a trade for 45 auto rim will be appreciated.
I have 30-06, 308 and 45 ACP brass to offer.
