I want a fireable Martini-Henry. A major obstacle to this ambition

It sounds like you need to learn a little more about reloading before doing anything.

What is stopping you from casting some bullets?

Doesn't a company actually make a 12 gauge version

wouldn't you need a .45 caliber bullet ?

Jesus fucking wept. Learn to Google, anon.

Casting bullets isn't hard.

You can fire shot out of a rifle, but the rifling will make it pattern in a circle. You're also going to have a hell of a time getting buckshot into .557/450 brass, which, you should realize, is even more trouble to get and maintain than casting bullets.

Casting soft lead bullets is braindead easy. You don't need as much equipment as you think you do. There are a lot of youtube videos about it, check some out.

I own a greener gp 12 gauge martini action, absolutely lovely to shoot, It's chambered for 2 1/2 inch cartridges'

The hardest part is actually finding a way to trim the brass.

I know you can buy ready to load brass but that's sort of a finite supply.
