577/450 Martini Henry

Finally got my 1887 Martini Henry to the range it’s been a fun project tracking down brass and bullets and dies. Running an 85gr charge of FFg Goex and a 480 grain bullet. Pretty cool piece of history.

I bet that is a hoot with all the smoke and fire. You should post a video link. Cool piece of history!

Looks good! How did it shoot? Did you for, the brass or buy it? It looks nice a Martini of some sort is definitely on the long term want list!

Just did some informal target practice at 40 yards it held a nice group shoots high tho as I have heard other Martini owners say. Gonna put it on the bench soon and see what it’s really capable of. I bought brass preformed from 24 ga shotgun brass. Gonna try to form some soon
