Just watched the Tracks Across Africa issue in which Boddington's daughter shot a buff with a .405 win in a Ruger #1. They used special loads from Hornady with 400 gr bullets. Can these bullets be had?

Barnes only offers the .411" 300gr XFB now, the 350gr XFB was discontinued, but they still have some in their closeouts.

Woodleigh makes .411/400. John Barsness had an article a few years ago in Rifle or Handloader about loading up the 405 W to 450-400 velocities in a Ruger #1. Bob

The .410" banded solid is for use in the .450/400.

What about the 1895 Winchester? Will it tolerate a loading pushing a 400 gr bullet 2400 fps?
