I load .45 ACP and .45 Auto-Rim for both my S&W 1917 and Webley MkVI. Both are very accurate with my civilized load of 4.4 grains of Bullseye and 200 grain LSWC bullets. I use plastic Rim-Z moon clips with both when firing the ACP, saves a lot of wear and tear on your fingers and the brass. Since the design of the Webley cylinder swages the bullets down to about .452 before they hit the forcing cone, there is no real need for hollow base or .455 bullets. I have been amazed at the accuracy I'm getting with the standard .452 bullets.
After re-reading your original post, I would suggest looking for some old stock .45 Auto-Rim ammo, as it should be fairly lightly loaded with lead bullets. I would avoid any FMJ.
