BSA MArtini Henry long lever

I lucked onto a BSA Martini long lever, and a box of 20 empty fired bell brass.   Someone told me a 480 Ruger die can be used to neck size and bullet seat the 577-450's.   True?

The M-H is famous for having various bore & chamber sizes.

Best better slug the bore & make a chamber cast to determine 'zactly what you have.

Some M-H links:
