Thread: 577 Super Snider build and chamber reamer size

In a strong action ( Baikal 12 gauge single ) the 577 Snider case would be plenty as a light nitro and you could go up to a 750 grain bullet

Just don't use your Magtech cases consistantly for Nitro loads. They dont have much of a web and start thinning out very rapidly in my experiance.

Its popular amongst the old blokes to fire a couple of nitro rounds through their BP cartridge rifles at the end of a shooting session to help clean the bore. Strange but there you go.

Personally the magtech are for BP only
They formed perfectly to the snider cases

But I can see they would not be nearly as easy to form into 577-450 MH

If I try nitro it would be with Bertram brass
