It is also possible to use and shoot .455 Colt ammuntion/brass in suitable .455 Webley revolvers- the .455 Colt is just shorter and typically has a lighter bullet, as it was made for pocket pistols.

I bought 400 pcs of .455 Colt Canuck brass made in Canada a while back...it was likely made in the 1950's or 1960's, as it had the original boxes with it. I shoot .455 in my S&W Canadian HE chambered for the cartridge.
