But aside from it being a bit light for a 577-450 the area of the head of that case is much larger than the area of the head of a 45-70 case.
So the force exerted on the breech face will be greater assuming similar pressure loads.
And the 577-450 being such a big diameter case the liners chamber minimum wall thickness numbers just don't work

Also I am not silly enough yet to build a rifle so powerful that i wouldn't test or shoot it myself ... but the day will come
