the case is in fact a 577 basic with thinner and smaller rim, believe bertram make it. have seen from time to time double , around 3500$.
you can use any 500 BPE bullet and loading data. If you are more tricky it can be one of the cheapest cases for big doubles. take 2,5" magtech brass for 24 gauge, reduce the rim, stick a brass tube in and and resice.
