I have the Smith and a Colt New Service. Both of which have been cut for .45 ACP. They shoot those well enough but I got to wondering about that Ruger OA bullet. I think Uncowboy sent me some...the memory is dim as to who for sure. I'll load some one of these days.

Here is my ".455 Eley"...

I found a small number of the 265gr, hollow base, .454" at a gun show and loaded them in AutoRim brass over a modest amount of Unique. I can't see that they shoot any better (maybe it's an operator issue?) but they are fun and look kinda cool.

I haven't seen any .455's in the flesh which were not cut for .45 ACP or .45 Colt. When I do an occasional GunBroker search, they do show up...at least in the Smith and Colt iterations. If I have seen Webley's, it can't be but just a few.
