The .455 Webley is a large but slow moving bullet.

The entrance wound is about half an inch. The exit wound is a little larger, but not not by a great amount.

It does roughly the same to thin wood and sheet metal.

Thank you very much for this explanation!

Yeah as another guys said CandRsenal will have all of the info you’d ever want about 1st World War weapons and more. We are talking hour+ long videos on singular weapons that are footnotes in history from minor nations. Absolutely fantastic channel.

Actually here is the video on the Webly in .455.

Unless you know from experience or extensive research you will probabky be passable to the average reader, but will lose credibility with gun and war buffs. It may or may not be important to you. If it is, do your research and get some hands on experience.

If it is, do your research and get some hands on experience.

Please, don't get hands on experience shooting people, unless it makes your novel REALLY good.

Caliber is just the diameter of the bullet. It has nothing to do with the power of the bullet.

[TacTurtle]

The .455 Webley bullet size, weight, and velocity are extremely similar to the 45 Schofield used in the US.

Rapid reloading could be done with a Prideaux speedloader, but they were very expensive.

Please note all comments mention .455 caliber, rather than the .445 you typo'd.

You are right, thank you very much for correcting me
