11:39 "I crunched the numbers" means I did a rudimentary calculation to determine the muzzle energy in ft/lbs and compared it to results from similar rounds. We will go over why this is okay for quick comparisons but isn't a good way to determine the effectiveness or "stopping power" of a round in a later video.

This literally just happened to me, and I was wracking my brain how to fix and this was the problem. Thank you so so much, super glad I stumbled upon this video and that I was able to fix it

Well done on your on you explanation of the different ammo’s . And yes it is a legend of a pistol .. not the most pretty… not the most powerful… but when you are handing them out to all the different company’s and battalions. During the 2 ww . They did what they were expected to do, give the owner the chance to defend themselves in all conditions without failure… 😊

Comments as of October, 2024 Very interesting round and interesting history. Not going to rehash the history of the .38 S&W round. According to the official accounts of the British Army testing the .380/200 (the Brits prefer thee decimal places normally) provided results to equal the older .455 Webley round. Not Earth-shaking, but satisfactory. The round is rather gentle and rather friendly to the shooter. It is not brutal in recoil. Accuracy of the ammunition from the revolver seems to be adequate; while not on the level of pistols or revolvers fired in NRA 'Bullseye' competition, it is capable of connecting with a man silhouette (comparable to the IPSC target) at 25 yards or less. Further of note, the Webley revolver using the .38/200 load was standard for the British armed forces from 1922 to 1963. It was replaced by the 9mm NATO round. The replacement was caused for the same reason the U. S, replaced the M1911/M111A1, the NATO standard. Correct. The .380/200 does not have the same kinetic (muzzle) energy so loved by advertisers. The rounds do not usually penetrate a human body. It just uses all the energy (momentum) IN the target. Whatever the reasoning, it seemed to work for about 40 years.

Only shoot factory ammo through these. I wont mention names but there are some ammo makers that market the actual 38/200 grain loads as made for these guns. Avoid them, they are loaded too hot even though they are advertised as being the correct load. I tried one brand and ended up with a broken recoil shield. Also the spent shells will stick in the cylinder needing to be pried out. I tried another brand that was assured be the correct low velocity 200 gr cartridge. Also too hot and spent shells stuck in chamber. Miwall, Remington, PPU have all performed well.

what type of ammo do these use exactly

I've ordered 8 rifles from RTI this year. All good deals without much wait. All but 1 have good bores, 1 is fair.

So this came from a batch, not individually marketed? What grade did you get?

What process did you use to paint in the markings on yours? I love that look and want to do it to mine

Thank you so much for this video! I got the same model of Webley and one box of the same matts bullets ammo to confirm it fired but have been looking for alternatives at lesser cost so I can shoot it more! You’re the best for confirming my suspicion on the fiocchi stuff!!!

The original service rounds were FMJ. I used to have a lot of it but shot it all up in my Mark IV.

All hail Paul Harrell!!

Would love to see that testing when you get the chance! Big fan of the Webleys.

Hey Waiting RTI has never let me down.. and that Mk. 111 is ok. And i subed ya too

Gun Sam has done some very interesting ballistics testing of his version of the old "Super Police" round which is very similar but based on the 38 Special case. The original was a 200 grain LRN (.358") at about 650 fps. Dam used a 213 gr bullet initially designed for .35 Remington. Well worth looking at for comparison.

Great little video! Out of curiosity, do you know if this would work with an old H&R .38S&W?

One of my “bucket list “ handguns that I’ve yet to acquire. I’d like to see more about it.

I would be interested in some actual ballistic tests. From what I've read, the comparable performance with the .455 cartridge came from having a different form of energy delivery on target. The 455 is a soft lead, conventionally mushrooming bullet; while the 38-200 S&W is a mariginally stable bullet that keyholes on impact. Increasing velocity makes it tumble less. Stopping power was reduces when England went to a 176 grain FMJ. Another thing i've learned recently: the British proof system used a different instrument which measeured a lower point on the pressure curve than what is common today. A simple numeric conversion of Long Tons to PSI is not accurate: apples to oranges.

congrats

the fake laughs are dumb af just saying g

I use 9mm bullets because they are not available in my country. Note that they are the same diameter

I have a hammerless enfield no2, 38S&W, I regularly shoot 38/200 loads the point of aim is fine shoots good groups. I use starline brass and trailboss powder for the most part, I get better velocity with blue dot but loose accuracy.

man you know what i just can't stand, that this fork doesn't work well for eating soup.. it's almost like certain tools have certain jobs 😅 10/10 goon

You can pick these up now in Civvy colours. I know how much my friends across the pond love these. I'm in the states every couple of years and take a few of them over for my US mates.

I'd love to see this in action. I was given an original and mint 👌 from my late grandfather. I'm having a hard time finding the .38/200 ammo and I'd like to see how worth it is for me to continue to search. From what I found out, the cost is about $1.00/round. Nothing in stock though.

Good video❤ Following you ❤

Gusset

Can’t wait to fall down some thorny, rocky hills in this great camo jacket.

Does anybody has problems with the mesh lining?

If you do handloading, theres a lee mold for .35 remington that can give you a close approximation, big 200gr lead pill although they're round with a flat nose. I use them for my enfield revolver and they've always shot more or less to POA

I am 182 cm , 72 kilos, 95 chest, and 180/96 fits good. I have enough space to put a wool sweater underneath and still move comfortable.

looks pretty good to me for the vintage, what year is your Lithgow (I have a 1915 Lithgow), how much did you pay and roughly what size groups does it shoot at what range if you don't mind answering those questions?

I'm interested in that

Thanks for the vid. Informative.

looks like a great one to me!!!

Terrible holster get a safari land holster with level lll retention I could easily take that gun out your Blackhawk holster while you aren’t looking the same can’t be said for safari land

So what replaced this design according to the NLETC??

Your comments aren’t entirely accurate, but yes, Australia never adopted the no 4 mk 1. It did however make improvements to the no 1 mk 3

All time best Rifel❤️

Which grade did you order?

I just found myself an L39A1 in pristine condition, and learned a lot about the unique action through this video. Thanks.

I’m also a Lee Enfield fan, it was my first centerfire rifle (smle3)

It's my favorite too Found a war finish with 3" barrel. good sights and shoots straight with factory loads. Not a bad ccw iwb with the shorter barrel Thanks for posting about your webley and await the matts bullets review

😢ASC9875050899ASC23😢

we used to have heaps and then the government destroyed them all, lest we forget

What speedloader is it ? Sorry I did not well understood when you say it.

Please test Matts 38/200s. I have shot them and would like your take on them vs standard factory loads.

I need it please let me know
