Unusually nice looking rifle for a Coggie. Nice Wood. Short barrels, excellent bores. The 5 1/4" inch 100 yard group was 12 shots. If the serial number table that I have is correct, this rifle was built in 1909.

For non-dangerous game, the .375 2 1/2" is a quite useful cartridge, especially in scrub or timber. Dandy black bear rifle. Great bullet selection. The only readily available brass that I'm aware of is Bertram which may work OK, or may not. I don't know if it is available from Horneber or not. Yeah, .405 will work.

Mac - it hasn't been obsolete for quite that long. The cartridge is only 105 years old and the rifles were built into the '30s I imagine. Kynoch appears to have loaded it until 1952.
