It was made in the 1870's in Belgium. Yes, Steve, I do shoot it and must roll my own. The cases are 24 gage shotshell brass. .577 rifle brass can also be used. Shortened and formed of course. The bullet weighs 457 grains. I was pushing it at 680 fps but had to take it down to 600 fps. The latch screw was starting to bend. Custom hollow base bullet mold was made by Lee Precision. Great fun to shoot. Just one of the many old timers that I own and shoot.
