.577/450 Martini-Henry

The .577/450 Martini–Henry is a black powder, centrefire rifle cartridge. It was the standard British service cartridge from the early 1870s that went through two changes from the original brass foil wrapped case to the drawn brass of two parts, the case and the primer. The .577/450 Martini–Henry was introduced with the Martini–Henry, in service it succeeded the .577 Snider cartridge and was used by all arms of the British armed forces, as well as British colonial forces, throughout the British Empire, until it was itself succeeded by the .303 British cartridge after an unsuccessful trial of a .402 calibre.
