Looking for info on some 57 Snider rounds(pics)

[websterp]

Going through the shop today found a old cigarette tin with some old shells in it among them some old shells stamped 57 snider loaded with what looks like #6 shot. As my google powers are weak I haven't been able to find much out about these old rounds any info would be appreciated.

Any Dominion 57 Snider ( that was the civilian loading for the 577) rounds i have ever seen that were shot loaded had a paper cover over the shot.
Those look like hand loads.

I would keep them all if I were you, fairly rare and really cool!
