	Thanks, Vall. Next show, we can go to the range and you can try it. I wouldn't try prone! I see that Wal Winfer, author of Tom Rowe's single shot books, shoots his with a 365 grain bullet and 35 grains of SR 4759. I have a 370 grain cast bullet and will have to try it with SR 4759. I have some Kynoch brass and some of the proper Berdans for it and will save the newer brass for Boxer primers for heavy loads.

	Very nice rifle Chauncey! But it might beat you up shooting a match with it. LD1

	I had my choice of 2 of them way back when I got it. The other one was a .600 Nitro!

	Well, financially, no, but shootability wise, a definite yes. That 600 would be worth soooo much now.

	If you mean the diagram, it came from Wal Winfer/Tom Rowe's Webley single shot volume. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	After seeing 1902 Webley I just had to read all, as I am the owner of A Webly Forsbury 1902 revolver, although it is not a rifle is is quite unique, its a semi auto revolver in .455 cordite and I shoot it once a year just to clean it and rub it, delete this if it brakes rules---

	No surprise. Where did I see that in that time period something like 80% of all civilian guns being made in Britain were made by Webley? But, you will have to give us a picture of it;-)

	UK buyers used to like to believe that the gunsmith from whom they purchased their equipment actually made it. Hence, most British rifles from pre-WW1 days are marked with the retailers name, not the actual manufacturer. Also, quality gun makers---eg Holland and Holland----would use their own staff to make the really high end products and have the run of the mill stuff made in Birmingham, but to their specifications. I met a guy who had worked for Webley for many years and he reckoned that 90% of their production had a retailers name on it or no name at all. I have a mint 2-band Snider that I think was made by Webley. It has no makers name and no serial number. Fred
