You will find a lot of help with the 577/450 in the Martini and Reloading forums at this website.

British Militaria Forums - Message Board - Yuku

The guys there have tried out just about everything, and know where to get what you need. But before you plunge in, are you prepared for a budgetary shock when you find out what the cases cost? You will need not only reloading dies, but a neck-sizing die to make those cases last, and you will have to cast your own bullets. All very, very pricy.

Look up the site mentioned above, and ask for help. I'm sure you will get plenty.

make sure you grab a "can" of TRAILBOSS powder. The case is even more cavernous than a 45-70 and safe charges of most appropriate powders leave a lot of empty space in the case.
