If one could find the right bullets in .360" or about that size, and IF the cartridge case and gun would take the pressure, the 38 S&W could probably be loaded to almost 9mm levels because of its case capacity, but in reality, even if the cartridge case held together and didn't explode out the rear, the gun would probably explode.
Just mentioned for the sake of interest. I stumbled on this thread while looking for 380-200 load data for that same Webley .38.

Where did you ever get such a wild idea? It's obvious you know very little about firearms, so please educate yourself to avoid future embarrassment.
