I'd sure leave the gun as is and shoot .455 in it. The .455 is a good round in its own right. I too have good luck with 250-255 grain lead .454 " diameter bullets in a Webley Mark VI that I have.

"I would advise against buying the Fiocchi rounds if your intention is to save the brass and reload it."

This correlates to my experiences with Fiocchi .455 brass. I've obtained a total of 7 boxes over the years and all gives unsatisfactory performance. The cases are thin and also brittle. Several losses may be anticipated in the initial firing of the factory loads and it goes downhill from there if they are handloaded. Very disappointing given the cost of the ammunition.
