Description

One two piece box (as pictured) with one cartridge only: .577 Black Powder Express, factory produced by Kynoch or England, before the 1930s using a (then) new 3″ case with “Kynoch .557″ Head-Stamp and loaded with a 570 grain “COPPER TUBE” lead projectile. A very hard find today, from the box in the picture.

History of the .577 Black Power Express cartridge: The 577 B.P. Express (B.P.= Black Powder) was introduced in the early 1870’s with a 2&1/2″ case and later in 2&3/4″, 3″ and 3&1/4″ versions which basically replaced the 577 Snider variants.The Black power charge was a huge 135 to 190grains of black powder.The 577 B.P. Express was changed to the .577″ Nitro Express in the early 1900’s whenit was loaded with (the then) new “Cordite” smokeless powder.This is a very hard item to find today.
