History of the .577 Snider Black Powder Cartridge:

The .577 Snider Black Power Cartridge was adopted by the British Military in 1867, first tested and used in converted 1853 Pattern muskets, then a small amount of converted Enfield rifles, and finally the (then) new Snider rifle in 1866.

The first cartridges was a cardboard paper body with a metal base similar to a shot-shell, then later to this brass case.

The 577 Snider was replaced in 1871 by the 577/450.
