I received my .577 double rifle yesterday. Made by Gustav Richter Breslat. Lots of case color left, bores are great and locks up tight. Chamber cast shows a length of 1.35" bore slug = .585". a cut down .577 case with a little removed about 1/4" in front of the rim fits. The problem that I see is that the inside neck diameter is .595. Going to be hard to fit a bullet in there. The closest that I can find in Handloaders manual of cartridge conversions is a .58 Roberts. Used to convert percussion to centerfire. I don't understand the crown over V on the rib and the total lack of proof marks on the barrel flats. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/G8RLitq.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/unOGbfv.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/YqdjVaJ.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/oc6skEK.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/U82bxG7.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/H9gSW30.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/UBWQzoE.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/xEV8tB9.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/aI3kU9A.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/EW7xUJX.jpg) [img] https://i.imgur.com/VLqzQ9L.jpg[/img] [img] https://i.imgur.com/vVjaRVU.jpg[/img] [img] https://i.imgur.com/n03x10Y.jpg[/img] [img] https://i.imgur.com/TT4Obyv.jpg[/img]

My saddle ring Snider 577 carbine is close in ammo The original ammo used paper patching AND a wooden plug to expand the bullet into the rifling I use a .595 ( Parker Hale bullet mold opened up a bit) and you can use Magtech brass which is thinner https://www.grafs.com/catalog/product/productId/11079
