Could anyone tell me the pressure of a 45 acp with a 230gr LRN with 5.0gr unique at 1.27 OAL? Please and Thank You!

I guess I could have went into the reason. I use that load in my 1911's with no problems. My father in Law has a 455 webley set up for moon clips and 45acp but from my reading they should stay under around 13,200PSI. I was pretty sure that those loads would qualify but just wanted to check. It will not be shot often, we just wanted to shoot a few rounds through it.
Yes, smaller diameter bullets shot just awful in mine. I think a big part of the problem was the chamber reaming was not a precision operation, it was the cheapest, fastest means of converting these pistols to go bang with 45ACP ammunition. I have one cylinder I bought at a gun show, chamber was reamed out straight through, and they are big holes.For my early Mark I Webley, I recently used 4.5 gr Unique under 230 gr lead RN (.452). The accuracy was pathetic, possibly due to the .452 bullet . Seemed to shoot 10 degrees to the left. Couldn't even place the shots on the paper target at 7 yards. Hope your results will be better.
