Re: .577/450 MH & Bertram brass?
If you're in Italy, just get the Kynoch stuff at Kynamco, UK. Also drawn brass, and quality stuff.
As for the rest... where to start?
Dies can be found at CH4D (US) - 1 1/4", and also at NDFS UK (small-base dies). but 1st you need to know the model you have. MKI-III will have a groove diamter of about .465, Mk IV of .470'ish. You can use .458 cast bullets, but better paper-patch them up to the diameter required. Load BP, about 85-90 grains of Fg, card wad, felt lubed wad (or beexwax plug), another card wad, then bullet.

a friend here is looking for Bertram brass in .577/450 for a Martini Henry rifle. I have noticed that some members own such rifles so I am going to guess that the brass is availiable.

Who makes dies? Does it use normal .458 diameter bullets?

Any info is appreciated.
