You used the term impulse properly. What have you not told us Eric?

In the Netherlands I am reloading as well for my 1886 Martini-Henry mk4. Great gun with a great history. The cartridges are really large and big, on the gunrange people are amazed by the size haha.

That's cool that you are able to do that in the Netherlands.

The only reloading I ever did was 9mm, .38sp and .357mag. All very basic rounds. I did everything on a Lee single stage press. I grew to enjoy loading almost as much as shooting the rounds I loaded. I spent many hours having quiet time. One big difference I found was I could load rounds that worked better in my guns than any factory ammo. I could tailor the rounds for maximum performance. I had to give it up when I moved into senior housing (I'm 70 years old.) I do miss it and I recommend loading as a great rewarding hobby. Cool video Eric.

Eric, Although I am not a reloader I found this video very educational. I gave my son a 1875 Martini Henry rifle as a gift. BTW, We love the movie ZULU. I bought the rifle from Atlantic Cutlery and it was specially selected from the Nepal find. The rifle was cleaned and fired by a professional gunsmith. We had ammo from Ten X but it was all lost in a house fire in 2021, Now searching for ammo to replace what we lost. Fortunately, the rifle and bayonet are now in a gun safe.

This video is the gold standard of what it means to be passionate about the reloading science. ⭐⭐🌟⭐⭐

Holy cow! Very excited to see the reloading videos make a return to KZread. Look at that youthful Eric 😉

Thank you for revisiting this topic. I was dismayed when you last video about this cartridge suddenly vanished. I like to anneal my brass again after the final sizing. I like the white cloud polyester fill produces. Much safer than glowing embers of cotton puffs too. Noting with interest your going for waxed lube bullets vs paper patched rounds. I find paper patched bullets leave a barrel that is easier to get clean, but then again paper patching each bullet is a lot more work. I did a video a few years ago about converting Kynoch brass to use 209 shotgun powders, but I agree brass with primer pockets already set up for standard primers is a lot easier, and old Kynoch cases sometimes split on their first firing anyway (also with extensive hang fires from the old primers and decomposed cordite) as well as getting harder to find economically

Thank you for your tips on forming the .577/.450 brass, it is very similar to my making 45-75 brass from .348 Winchester, I'm sure the annealing process is quite similar, as well as the the case forming. Great video!

Just started reloading and I love it. Its like graduating to the next tier of the gun/shooting hobby. Learned everything I know from all the KZread reloaders. Very thankful for all of you sharing your knowledge. Now I'm getting ready for the next tier: bullet casting.

This information will probably never be useful to me but man this is so interesting. Thank you for making videos like this. Makes my day

i love reloading so much. i love learning about ballistics, calibers and cartridges. god bless and keep up the good work.

Every Sunday morning I go out to my reloading shed and do some reloading while watching Hickok 45’s Sunday Shoot-a-round, followed by your LLP. When you guys are done, so am I. Great videos, thanks.

Thank you for re-uploading the full version of this! Much appreciated.

Glad to keep watching your videos and seeing your influence on the community. Thanks for your service as well.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the process. Thanks Eric.

I love reloading. I have never done black powder cartridges though. This makes me want to try it though. These type of videos are some of my favorites. As well as the gun restoration. Thanks Eric.

Glad to see this video come back!

I will never turn down a niche reloading video!

GLAD TO SEE YOU RE-COVER THIS ONE

Yeah I love the reloading videos you do Eric you should do more if you have the time

Man i usto really enjoy this channels reloading videos back in the day , didn't think they did them anymore so nice to see

First Rate step by step process review with understandable detail when needed ... 10/10

Great video Eric. Love to see you doing content like this.

Hell yeah! I was looking for the video you did years ago as I just bought a MH a week ago. And now I see today you've posted this. Awesome!

Good to see this video come back. Nice work Eric!

I appreciate the video, brother. I picked up an Enfield Snider .577 and a Royal Kabul Armory Martini while in Afghanistan. I just recently bought dies for both and got my Magtech shells in the other day. My wife has never shot the Enfield I bought her. I did find some 1930's Kynoch 577/450 years ago. I never thought these two rifles would be anything more than a wall decoration in our living room. 😊

What an awesome video! Thanks a lot for putting this together. I have enjoyed all the videos about this cool old rifle

Hell yeah man I miss the old IV8888 vids of reloading and deep cleaning. Comfy time

Glad you reposted this info. I could not find your old one. I ended up passing on a nice Martini because I wasn't sure about making the ammo.

I can’t tell you how much I’ve wanted this video

Very nice! I've tooled up with Bertram cases, FFg powder and I'm using the Lee 459-405-HB mold with wheel weights. It drops at .462" and seems to work just fine. Keep up the awesome work, hi from downunda!

I've reloaded this some, it's definitely a labor of love.

Love your reloading stuff. My favorite video of yours is the pumpkin ball slugs for 12ga. Easy to do.

Fascinating. Thankyou

KZread took down all of his videos pertaining to reloading for whatever reason. Happy to see it back and hope they back off in the future.

Good video I enjoyed it, I've been loading BP cartridges for quite a few years now but never the martini Henry. 45-70, 45-120, 45 colt, 32-40, 38-55, ect... One of nice things about black powder cartridges is that if you take proper care of your cases they will last hundreds of rounds, unlike modern smokeless high pressure cartridges.

Excellent video mate. Very informative. Just what I was looking for. Cheers

Great vid Eric, thanks for putting another one up. This is the type of content I love. If I didn't have Snider lust so bad I'd have a few Martini's but I can't seem to stop with the Sniders. One of these days.

Very well done video on the loading for the Martini Henry. I have two of them and have actually shot some of the original Kynoch loads for it, not recommended. I like the bullet you cast for it because I am paper patching my bullets for it which is a whole nother thing. I have used black powder and smokeless loads for it based on load data I have found. The smokeless works really well because black powder is just now becoming available again. I load for this and the .577 Snider which is also awesome. I have also tried to form brass for the Martini but kept creasing the brass and I like your process which the key is annealing I think. This is one of the more difficult rounds to reload for and you obviously have a very good process for it. The video was very helpful.

Very interesting, thanks for the upload

nice job ,

Got the notification while jogging and for a second thought it said "Rollerblading for/with the .577/450 Martini-Henry". I kept picturing that for the rest of the run and chuckling.

I have never seen reloading other than shotgun. GREAT tutorial!!! I feel I could almost do this and I know how to run mills and lathes..attention to detail is where most fail. I will stick to the big box companies till then. Really good info!

Hoping this one is backed up to Rumble or other platforms. I was hoping for a video on this topic after the Martini videos. Thanks Eric!

Not sure if you know but this is actually an old video. Pretty much all of his reloading videos were taken down by KZread. So I'm guessing he's starting to get them back and they're backing off of him which is great

you know we go to alot of trouble just to have something go boom

Love your reloading videos and gun smiting would love to see more of both your my by far favorites contact curator

Y’all should do a review of the .577-450 adapter to .45 Colt. It’s just a metal cartridge with a hole for the Colt round to fit so you can fire your martini a lot easier.

Great video thank you.

Thanks!

Saving this to watch tomorrow. But if I remember well you had an older video (or two) about this.

I have a martini and I want to make the ammo for it but I know you must get it right or things could go bad so I’m very excited for this been waiting a few years since your first martini Henry video came out

The history of the gun interesting con from Ireland 🇮🇪.

I bought a Gahendra rifle because of you. I tried cleaning it up and make it look like the Zulu skin from Battlefield 1. Sadly I lost the guts and the wood when I moved out of my apartment and was never able to finish it. And now there aren't any more Gahendra rifles on IMA sadly. The stylized lever was my favorite part of that rifle. When I have more money I'm gonna get a proper long lever martini and hopefully get one that can shoot and then use this vid to start shooting.

Labor of love

Great video, loved watching you form the cases. When I first got the itch to shoot my M-H's in 1982, only brass I could find at the time was I think from Australia and $100 for a box of 20. Lyman dies. I think my mold came from England and was sized to make a proper paper patched bullet. I've never seen a British military or even British commercial load that had a bare lead bullet without patching on the 577-450. Tried once with lead sized to the bore and accuracy was much worse, that rifling really does like a patched bullet. Be interested to see how your shooting goes. We used to take a press that would clamp to the table at the range, powder and pre-lubed and patched bullets in an old cigar box. Great job.

Awesome! I was wondering where this went

The .577 Snyder is a beast. Even if it is a black-powder cartridge, it is still a monster.

That's a lot more work than using the Dillon Precision RL1100. But then again, I have no dies or brass for the Martini ... thank you, that was a lot of fun to watch

TAIG Micro Lathe? Thank you for sharing all the knowledge Eric!

Enjoyed this immensely. I think Ross Seyfried was using juice carton for wads for BP express loads back in the day, with wax in the stack, too.

Love that LaRue sticker at 11:40!

What a lesson! Thanks a lot! 🖖🏻🇫🇷😎🇫🇷😎🇫🇷🖖🏻

Thanks for putting out quality informative content. Now let’s see the Martini-Henry melt down lol

I was just wondering whatever happend to the video of you loading these rounds, good to see its back up

Great stuff! Now do a comprehensive reloading video for the Schmidt Rubin M1889 :) I know you went through it in your video but a dedicated video for the reloading process would be so good.

38:00 - Regarding "poly fill"... Which is basically a plastic, and can foul the barrel. There are several reputable reloaders that have recommended organic silk or cotton, for fill material.

Finally, some reloading content!

You should make a similar video on making 577 snider rounds! Just a suggestion.

Very informative Video, Thanks!! Is the process of repriming a spent casing similar to the process of priming a new casing like what you featured here?

Great video. I’m having to reload 7.7 Arisaka myself. You should do a collaboration w/British Muzzleloader.

So nice to have some old-school IV8888 content. I first started watching you many years ago when this stuff was your main product. Feels like coming home again.

Peabody invented it but Martini improved it and made it much stronger.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video Erik! Thanks for the great content. One question, can you reload those shells after you fire them? Wondering how they look after they have been fired...

Yes you can, Rob over on the British muzzle loaders channel uses a water tumbler with steel pins to clean his 577/450 martini henry cases.

Eric you never indexed the different parts in the description or comments? Very cool video and I appreciate it

As a member of the British Empire. I demand its return!!

I really enjoyed this video, you may have said in the video but I was wondering how many reloads can you get out of one of the newly formed cases you just made?

This is a old video reposted about 4 to 5 years ago but KZread took it down.

Here in UK, 577/450 brass is expensive at £9 ($11) each. The calibre is classed as obsolete so none is available off the shelf and rifles can be owned by anyone.

Every time I pull out the martini Henry and start lobbing lead at the range everybody comes over wondering what I'm shooting. It's not an easy cartridge to reload for but it sure is fun.

You should do this same type of video for 43 Dutch Beaumont I bought a Beaumont about six years ago after seeing your reloading video and shooting videos of one and I have not found a decent reload yet or source of ammunition and I don’t know if your original reloading videos are still available I haven’t been able to find them up

A modern version/replicated model of this gun with a new caliber or the original would be so bad ass.

Can y'all do a .41 Swiss reloading video? There's barely any information on my 1869/73 out there and I've been dying to find a reliable source on brass making and cartridge spec. Another one on top of that would be the .43 Mauser, but that's a whole can of worms in comparison since each 1871 Mauser variant varies drastically from one-another

Im sure someone enjoys this content but the vast majority of us do not have martini henrys. Hopefully youll do some more common calibers too.

Wasn't this video released before? I could swear it came out back when you did the initial break down and degunking of the rifles

@iv8888 hey Eric, love the content. I was wondering if I could use some 7.62 nagant revolver bullets pulled from surplus ammo to fire form brass in any of my .311 bore guns? I remember you mentioning something to this effect before and I was just wanting to verify if this is a sound idea? Thanks 😊

the dutche brethren thank thee

Cool beans I would like to get a long lever .577/450 Martini -Henry and load for it would be a good Challenge

Is this a repost? I feel like I’ve seen this before.

They really need to bring back the 577/450 and manufacture it In higher pressures and standard smokeless powder. I'll be a beast of a cartridge. I'll be awesome in lever actions and double rifles.

I'm getting boer commando vibes from his bandolier in the beginning. Freudian slip?

I loaded up some I got 14 out of 25 cases that was the first time

Slightly off topic but I have a 1950 270 Mashburn Maginum that I’d love to see case fireforming documented. There really is not much information out there including PO Ackley Handbook Vol I & II

I have a video request. I’d like to see how .17 HMR out to longer ranges. 100-500 yards or so. I think that would be super cool. You could also compare it to .17 hornet
