Thanks Pan_yan.
Unless the Martini-Henry was rechambered for .303 (some were), it would be darn hard to get ammo for it! I saw some that was $139 for 20 rounds.

I Googled it and the first web site has $102 for a box of 20. I think $5+ a shot would be extra incentive to aim carefully.

I understand that rechambering the Martini-Henry was popular early in the century. I recall reading that the .450-577 cartridge had been considered and dropped by the Ordnance Dept. in favor of the .45-70 as the Martini-Henry round was judged to be an overpowered shoulder-beater.
