Don't know if this will help, but the shell holder is the same as the 50BMG.
I'm sure something can be rigged up.
I've been hoping for a MH to come my way.
I'll need the same information if one does.

My old Lyman Accutrimmer will trim the MH case, using the .45 pilot, after I have resized the neck--with both Magtech and Jamison cases. The cutter is unfortunately not large enough to trim the .577 Snider, plus, a custom pilot would also be needed.
To trim Snider cases, I use a Harbor Freight mini chop saw with a homemade case cradle for 1st trim, which requires the case to be rotated once to complete the cut, then I finish with a file.
