I have a S&W New Century coming in that is in .455 Webley. Anyone here have some loads that have worked well? Thanks!

;) Umm, Nope ;)

I used the data from the Lyman Book.

Are you loading BP or smokes-less powder?

I use Blue Dot and really like it. The Lee Modern Reloading 1st edition (red book) has good data for alliant powders in the .455 MK II

I run 6.5 grains under this bullet: http://www.accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=45-262M-D.png

Thank you guys! Most of the newer manuals don't list this.

I have a .455 rechambered to 45 colt,,It shoots shotgun patterns with .451 bullets...Check your cylinder mouths by dropping a .451 bullet into them,,They fall right through my cylinder..I got a .456 220 grain bullet mold and shrunk the groups down to around 4-5 inches at 25 yards,,Nothing to brag about ,,but waaaay better than the .451 bullets.

Greetings!
For your New Century Hand Ejector .455, I recommend "Pet Loads, Vol. 2" by Ken Waters, wherein he discusses
hand loading for the Solid-Frame .455 revolvers.
