srspower Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) That looks to me like a .577/.450 a guy has one at my local club. Its a black powder cartridge with a .45 calibre bullet and a case that goes out to .577. Today I was shooting a rifle with a Mauser action in 7.62x51 Nato Edited September 1, 2013 by srspower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
