Thinkin bout having a single shot built in this caliber. Anyone have any load data that they would like to share?

Ruger #1, Contender, other?

The cartridge is interesting, fairly unusual, and useful. Did you ask Dr. Sharps?

Thinkin Contender or Encore....

Dr Sharps?

I use 51 gr of IMR 3031 with a 300 gr Hornady in Bertram brass in my USRAC/Winchester 1895. Should be just over 2000 fps -- wasn't looking for anything really strenuous. Midway has all the components.

I have a old belgium double rifle in .405WCF and I�m loading Rottweil R902 53,5grs and the 300grs woodleigh weldcore at 2100fps. I shoot groups under 1".Sorry,I have no experience with U.S-made gun powder.I use bertram and Kynoch brass.

Mike,

Sorry for not getting back to this sooner. I lost the topic...

Dr. Charles Sharps on the TC-L... He has a Contender in the .405.

Competitor barrel is order , now the wait!

Midway has bullets, dies but the Hornady brass is on backorder.

Wanna try some AA2015 but struggling to find loads......

I load 55 grains of IMR 3031 in Winchester cases behind a 300 grain Barnes Original bullet...3" accuracy at 100 yards in my 1905-vintage Winchester 95........
