If I recollect correctly, our Belgian Martini Correspondant 'Gert' loads the .450 No.2 Musket for no less than three of his rifles. I understand he forms the cases himself, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't from .500 Basic Brass.

Perhaps he'll see this item and chip in, or you can PM him on this Board or the British Military Firearms Board.

If nothing else he should be able to provide some reloading information.
