I tried to see if a .45-70 brass could fit? .Nope!...I think this one is a .450 Eley. Maybe a .45long colt brass would fit?. I`ll try that later. I might be lucky to fire lowpowered Magtec .45colt cowboy loads in it. I read in Oz these .450 Eley`s in these Snider were called `roorifles`..(think of Skippy)..

Great info Rigbymauser!
Yes definitely bigger than the .45 Colt, it would certainly have been used on skippy's back in it's day; maybe for hides unless you wanted a BIG hole in the middle of things or head shoot, but range estimation would be critical.
Would certain be fun trying to see how accurate this one will be though - just to see if it can still be a 'roo rifle'?
