405 Winchester?
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?

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.

Mike,

Sorry for not getting back to this sooner. I lost the topic... [Roll Eyes]

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

Competitor barrel is order [Big Grin] , now the wait! [Frown]

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

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