The .405, like the .444 Marlin, was made for use in lever action rifles. That required restricting both powder capacity and bullet weight. With a double rifle you can use cartridges that do not have those limitations. In medium bore, the 9.3x74R is one. The 375 Flanged is another. I don't have the talent required to build such a rifle but if I did I would choose the 375. Have you considered that cartridge? ![]() "Although slimmer and less muscular than its English brethren, the 9.3x74R (left) is recognizably from the same era as the .375 Flanged (center) and .375 H&H." - African Sporting Gazette ~ |
