Default Webley 38/200 reloading

Hello ,

i wouldlike to start reload the crtrgs for my "new" Webley
(a Tsahal service rev surplus )

would be nice to replicate ( or go close the concept )
the original bullet weight ( MKI ammo )

while waiting for the Lee 38S&W set dies arrival , i "slugged" the barrel and the cast i got is 0.363 ( bore )

the bullet of the commercial ammo i bought ( Fiocchi FMJ 146 gr ) have a diameter of only 0.3565 ( ah ! ..i tested and saw a poor accuracy )

well now i wouldlike start the experience with a HN ( coppered lead ) 180 gr 0.358 - the same i utilize in my 357 mag. Uberti Remington 1875

i also considered to size to 0,360/0,362 a commercial 200 gr lead S&W 40 bullet by customizing a Lee bullet sizer die

i considered to utilize a load of Vihtavuori N320 ( start from 1,8 gr about - i will see by my QL)

has anyone ever done something like this ? ?
and also in this cal ammo ?

Thank you in advance for the eperience sharing

regards
