richjCan a 405 Win be rechambered to anything else
specifically an 1885 browning.

impala#03Hi richj,
That's a very strong action, would work for just about anything. How about a 450/400 Nitro Express?
Should be the same bullet diameter I think.

Clan_Colla1885 hi wall should have enough barrel width to do a 450-400 (using .411 rather than .410

impala#03And the 450/400 is a rimmed cartridge, ideal for a single shot.

dpcd405 barrels vary quite a bit, the standard was .413, but this rechambering could be done. And I have the reamer. Extractor mod is the tedious part.

richjThe 1885 is in the same shop that had a 270 a few months ago, $999. Octagon barrel. I'll have to get a second look

crsheltonBeing a shooter of the .405, I have to ask why you do not want that rifle in that caliber?

richjAlready have an 1895 and a fraser(griffin) in 405.

martYou could rebarrel to 35 Winchester, keep the same extractor and be the coolest guy at the range.
