Re: New Double Cartridge needed??

There seem to be innumerable Double cartridges and one wonders are there any gaps to be filled??
For short range open sight Double scenarios (150 yds or less)it would seem no gaps exist---
I think there could be a gap in the .400 to .450 calibre class. The .450/.400 is rightly popular and even undergoing a bit of a revival, although some might consider it a bit on the slow side. There is the .500/.416, which is a bit faster but needs a larger framed DR.
Personally, I would love to see a straight walled express cartridge firing a .423 (.404 Jefferey) calibre 450 grain bullet at a genuine 2150 to 2250 fps.
Any thoughts? Would be lovely in a Webley boxlock or Westley droplock....
