Re: The 455 Webley....BRITAIN’S BIG-BORE HEAVYWEIGHT,

I would love to get a MkVI one day in good shootable condition.

Being a .455 and in excess of the handgun limit of 9mm/.357, how do you guys justify yours?

In SA I believe either a collectors licence. But in SA that means one is not allowed to possess ammunition for any firearm listed on a collectors licence. One can shoot a collectors firearms ONCE per year. Ridiculous I know.

The other way sport target shooters get a greater than 9 mm is if they shoot a sports discipline requiring metal silhouette targets to be knocked over. The police have accepted a cartridge firing a projectile of greater mass is required. I believe the SSAA Action Match discipline is acceptable (?). That would be one sporting discipline which maybe I would enjoy. Possible would need a minimum of either six or four attendances per year.

Thanks Ripp for posting the article. It was interesting to read.

Now if I had one, and a suitable leather brown or tan holster and a suitable matching brown or tan leather belt and/or cross shoulder belt. And the full colonial outfit with pith helmet, I could attend a vintagers.
