.577 Snider
I will be getting a Snider from my uncle's estate at some point.Not sure of the providence but free is good. The dies are crazy expensive.There is a guy on a website that loads his in 24ga brass and fills the airspace between the bullet and charge with cornmeal topped with a 20ga overshot card.He was getting 4" groups at 100 yards or thereabouts.I'll have to wait and see what model I am getting and if it has an iron or steel barrel .ROT varies as I understand some shoot better with a .600 ball and 24ga cut plastic shotgun hulls.
