Even if you're not going to shoot it you should have a half dozen or so cartridges made up Just Because.

Or Just In Case, depending on your outlook on life.

This link will take you to RCBS's .577 Snider 3 die set. The three dies alone are a heart stopping $450 bucks...

This is a forum thread on resizing all brass 24 bore shotgun shells to .577 Snider. It also states that ball can be fired from 24 bore shotgun shells with plastic hulls. I didn't have time to research properly, but it mentioned they have many threads on reloading this round.

Not something I would normally consider, but it looks like you may have to sell your yacht to pay for ammo otherwise!
