Curious as to why there are only 400gr loads commonly used for this cartridge? For comparison, the 45-70 has more loads published than I can count in bullet weights from 250gr to 510gr. Is there somthing about the 450/400 that I am ignorant to? Bailey Bradshaw www.bradshawgunandrifle.com I'm in the gun buildin bidness, and cousin....bidness is a boomin | ||

It's a double rifle cartridge. As such, the vast majority of rifles are factory zeroed for a specific load. Any variation will render factory ammo useless to the majority of the buying market. analog_peninsula ----------------------- It takes character to withstand the rigors of indolence. | |||

Back in the old days, there was little choice. IMO, Not a bad thing.. | |||

Mostly 400gr was the only bullet weight available and as previous poster said, it was a double rifle cartridge so the guns were regulated to a specific bullet weight and load. At least 2 loads existed, 55gr and 60gr (the lighter load being the Tropical load). | |||
