British Service Revolvers - which one to collect or shoot?

[CCAMERA50]

Please measure the land diameter and post the result.

I agree 100 %

The diameter across the lands it is surely narrowest then .3565 ( the Fiocchi bullet diam. ) - the lands
have a very good thickness ( almost like a rifle ) - a.s.a.p. i will post the exact meas. -

meantime i ordered ( in USA ...! ) the mould to reply the original 200 gr. lead bullet .362 dia.
so i will can cast , size as needing and reply the appropriate Mk2 crtrg .

thank you and best regards

a.s.a.p. i will post the exact meas. -

well, the dia. across the lands it is .348 then the thikness of a single land should be almost .0077

then i think should be none problem to fit a soft alloy ( as you told ) lead bullet RN dia .361 ( or .362 , ....i will test )
and see more accuracy then the FMJ Fiocchi i tested first

correct ?

British Service Revolvers - which one to collect or shoot?

Getting back to the original question - there is only one answer. The Webley MKVI is absolutely the iconic British revolver. Thanks to Hollywood, it is has an enormously high recognition factor. And it is pleasant to shoot, easy to look after, and if you are a reloader and do not get irritated by the .455 designation, shoots quite ordinary .452 bullets. Lead, of course, and round-nose please! (I have already explained why in a previous post).
