Re: 405 win questions

If you are bound and determined to try to shoot a cape buffalo with a 405, skip the 300grain bullets and go with the 400 grainers both solid and soft. You will need the sectional density. Woodleighs have been good to me.

If you can actually get to 2000fps with a 400 grain bullet and using a temperature insensative powder you are not yet in the ballpark but you are aproaching the gate.

A cape buffalo's rib cage features overlapping, heavy ribs and the heart and lungs are well forward. Stick with the heavy bullets and think about just using the 400 grain solid.

FWIW,
