Hi Everyone,

Could any of you recommend a good reference book on the Snider and 577-450 Martini Henry cartridges.

Many thanks in advance,

Mike.

I think you'd be hard pushed to beat Peter Labbett's superb 358 page 'British Small Arms Ammunition, 1864-1938 (other than .303 inch)'
The ISBN is 0-9520567-0-4.

Best wishes,
Mike.

If you could find a copy, another good reference is "the Boxer Cartridge in the British Service" by Barry Temple.
