[DEZ]

Here are some pics of my Martini that has been rebarreled to 577 Snider .Kerry Rebarrelled it for me .The load I worked up to is 105gr.FFg 725gr. cast bullet. I can get a 2.5 inch 3 shot group at 100yds. best shooting Snider I own. I included some pics of the bullets next to a 45-70 for comparisonhttp://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc52/DEZ1_photos/PB080105_01.jpg

Thanks David I always wanted a 577 Snider that would shoot better had no luck with the real ones .I've got a 577 Snider sporting rifle by Kerr but it didn't shoot much better than th military ones .So then came up with this idea.

Kerry Jenkinson Had a few new barrels made up years ago he may still have one He chambered and installed it for me then had him rust black it. to make it look old like the rest . my friend did one the same except he had wilcox gun works restock and blue his it looks like new
