This week a team down in Kandahar asked me to ID some old ammo. Easily ID'd it as .577/.450 for the Martini Henry rifles. I had just mailed home my antique Mk III dated 1881 for this chambering. Shown alongside a 9x19 cartridge. Calibers in hand, bullet diameter is .450", rim diameter .745", case length 2.30" and OAL 3.0435". There is no markings on the case head. Team reported that farmer was giving this ammo by the Russians decades ago.
