The 0.455 Webley Mark VI is a rimmed, straight, brass or nickel case, Boxer or Berdan primed, with an ogival FMJ bullet. This is the last of a series of British Army 0.455 cartridges originating in 1891. The principal differences in the various Marks related to the bullets, which began as an ogival lead, progressed through a flat-tip lead, three 'Manstopper' flat-nosed types and finally settled on a full jacketed bullet in 1939.

It remained in UK service until 1946 but has been produced commercially because numerous revolver makers besides Webley have produced suitable weapons. Compatible platforms include suitably chambered revolvers.
