Quote: At the 1150-1250 or so velocities common to factory loads, the 405's may not expand much at all in game even at close range unless a heavy bone is struck. At very high .45-70 velocity {1900+} you may find they expand too much. I am guessing the best velocity for the Remington 405 factory soft {available as a reloading component} for heavy game might be in the might be in the 1500-1800 range. With your double, the key thing is to match safe pressure levels to your gun and then zero/regulate to the best possible load you can. What is that best working pressure? I have no idea. I am doubting that Remington or the old EAA would tell you the action is OK for anything better than Trapdoor loads, so you'd be on your own.
