Other than the .408 CheyTac and 40-70 Sharps, what other calibers use a .408" diameter bullet?

I have a box of Barnes .408" 400gr X bullets, with no home at the moment. I guess that means I need to buy a gun to shoot them.

Some 450/400 rifles could use them.
Slugging the bore would tell if that is the case.

You can use them in things having a .410 groove; it won't hurt them. And as stated, some 450-400s have 408 barrels.
I use only .410 for 400 Whelens. And 40-65s. I have also made 404s with a .410 groove; makes a good round and I don't want a .423 rifle. But that is another story.....
Point is that you can use .408 bullets in several rifles.
