Robert,

Good luck in your quest. I have been to 2160 fps with a 400gr pill in a 405 Win, M1895 lever action. It can be done. By the way, the M1895 is a very strong lever action. I personally would not feed the rifle a steady diet of such loads, since they are around 66000 psi. However, aside from some stretch (~ 0.007") there was nothing to report from these loads. By the way, rear locking actions ALWAYS produce far more case stretch than a front locking action. A FAL will stretch the brass far more than a M700 Remington will, but the failure mode of an overpressure load is still the same for BOTH rifles, that being blown primers and 0.008"+ case head expansion. I have seen 270 Win chambered M1895 exhibit ~0.007" case stretch as well shooting factory loaded ammunition.

By the way, I know a trick that will get you ~ 3 grains more case capacity out of your Hornady 405 Win brass.

Your long throat will help you out immensely. I think you should heed 475guy's advise though, and use Rel7 after you get the throat worked out, that is.

Scott
