Quote: But, rest assured, when the .577 is mentioned anywhere in a crowded bar-room, that it is the 3" case nitro with the 750grn. bullet and 100grs. of cordite that is being spoken of.
Not true at all...I know a group that when they say .577 they mean a cartridge case to load a muzzle loader from the back. Although true enough they are more likely to say Snider than .577. But 577 3 inch would be far from their minds.
