Safe ammo for a Webley .45 acp revolver

I was just over at my local FFL and he had a Webley converted to .45 acp. I told him to hold it until a rifle that I had won on GB comes in and I'd have the money for the revolver. I've always wanted one as a shooter and being cambered for .45 acp ammo would be easy to find, that's what I thought.

After doing a little research I found that the operating pressure for the Mark VI Webley is around 12500 psi and the .45 acp is around 19000 psi. So basically firing the .45 acp in this revolver, is like fire proof loads through it. Since I reload and wanted this for a shooter not a big problem, except that all my reloading equipment is in storage because I travel around the country for work and can be stuck in one spot for six month to a year.

Being that I would like to shoot it ASAP, my question is does anyone know of anyone producing .45 acp or .45 auto rim ammo that would safe to fire out of a converted Webley?
