Martini-Henry

[DaodeJing]

Hi,

I'm looking for a Martini Henry .577/450 and one in .303 that can shoot. Plus i'm looking for someone who makes ammo or who can guide me precisely in making some.

Thanks.

They show up on the EE regularly. Probably some there now.

Iraqveteran8888 on youtube has a great few vids on loading 577/450.

Do you mean like this one? Can confirm it is in nice shape

Remember that the MH reloading dies need the bigger press. In the end it cost me more to get everything to reload this cartridge than to buy the gun, but I don't regret it

RCBS dies fit the standard press, but they are pricey unless you happen to luck into them at a gun show
The cases can be neck sized with 480 Ruger dies.

I neck size with a 7.5 x 55 Swiss die. Just run the neck into die enough to hold bullet.
