I can’t get that link to work, but the Webley .455 “mankiller” round is a neat relic. Plan to do some reloading, because new .455 is about a buck-plus a round.
Many of those break-open revolvers were surplused into the US in the 1960s, and the cylinders shaved in the back to take a .45 ACP held in place be “half-moon” clips.

Which link are you referring to?
The Gun Watch link worked, last I tried it.
I’ve got a Webley Mk VI with the shaved cylinder. Back before I was 18 or had enough money these went for $14.95 or so. I saw them in fishing tackle boxes & the owners called it the “boat anchor”. Gone up a lot since then.
The cartridge manual says .45 ACP is hotter than .455 Webley. Some reload .45 ACP with reduced charge for the old Mk VI.
Sure do like the Webley-Fosbery in that photo.
I have a Webley that has been modified to take the 45ACP rounds.
