Right. Actual blow-ups seem to have been rare, but the heavier loads will eventually turn those old guns into a rather loosely associated collection of parts that won't function properly.
This is true of all top break revolver designs. Shoot too hot ammo, they don't last long.

I've got a Mk VI, (1917) smokeless all the way! .455 Webley smokeless, or the equivalent in .45 ACP brass! NOT for .45acp AMMO!!!!!.
