    So the numbers on case volume are

    577 Snider case water capacity

    Bertram new brass 120.0 grains

    Magtech 24 gauge formed Snider 134. grains ( so plus 10% volume on the Bertram )

    Kynoch vintage 122.5 grains ( this is a fired case and will have increased volume on new )

    So as @rambo-6mmrem mentioned a lot more case capacity and care and filler required with both the 577 Snider and 577-450 formed with Magtech

    On the up side you will have no trouble loading a full charge of BP into these cases and still have space for a grease cookie etc
    Micky Duck and Boxton like this.
