Corbett’s main double rifle was a .450-400 by W.J. Jeffery. This chambering was the most popular of double rifle rounds at the turn of the 20th century. It was outlawed for civilian use in India in 1907 for reasons of internal security, leading to the success of the .470, which was permitted, but very similar in performance.

The .450 was banned, not the .450/400. Does Diggory understand the difference? The .450 was banned as the .450 calibre bullets were thought to be able to used by rebels in military rifles.
