BirdHunter50,

My .405 was built by BlainSmipy as a gift. We decided on the 400 grain Woodleigh 450/400 projectiles so it could be used on DG, should I ever come across a rabid pit bull.

We really liked the high sectional density of the 450/400 projectiles and wanted to shoot premium solids.

I know the velocity is down from the 450/400, but I'm not too concerned as these bullets are well proven at most speeds.

Someone asked why did we not chamber the 450/400? The case is too fat. The .405 give more critical chamber thickness.

I re-weighed the rifle and its 9.5 lbs w/ 24" bbls. It's not clubby at all.
