If the round is too long, then it will be akward to use in a Martini action.

Well, yes, but length is not the only factor. The cartridge has to "turn the corner" to get into the chamber, and while length is one factor, so is the chamber-mouth diameter relative to the cartridge neck or seated-bullet diameter. The .577/.450 slips in easily because the relatively slim neck has plenty of lateral movement in the wide chamber-mouth.

An extreme bottle-neck case can be much longer than a slim straight-wall case, and still fit.

Clear as mud?
