Picked up a really nice Webley, in original condition. I know Hornaday makes the ammo but does anyone know where to find it??

Try Old Western Scrounger. You can order most any odd or obsolete caliber that's still available from them.

Fiocchi started making it a year or 18 months ago I believe. Not cheap, but the best price was at Midway IIRC.
Bear in mind, this is a lead loading, and if you shoot at an indoor range some don't let you shoot lead.

You can get carbide loading dies from Lee at a reasonable price.
You can pull the lead bullets if necessary and reseat 250 grain jacketed .45 Colt bullets with satisfactory results.
5 grains of 231 Winchester pistol powder works well for this load in the Webley.

My local gun pusher orders it for me as a part of his regular Hornaday order.

Which Webley? A MK VI? Any hope of a photo?
