A 45-70 or 45-90 necked to .410
Surprisingly the capacity of the 405-70 would be the same as the 405 win. Thought it would be interesting for a 410 single shot conversion. Cheap brass.

Mike BrooksWouldn't that be the same beast as a 40-70 for all purposes?

boom stickYes, I thought about that.
This idea would only be interesting for 410 shotgun or single shot pistol conversions or those who like 410 or 405 bullets shooting a higher SD or BC bullet for nominal bullet weight.
Also if someone wanted 405 win performance in a shorter version.

Woodrow SAre you sure the 45/70 case has the same capacity as the 405 winny? I am guessing not. I base that on the two cartridges 375JDJ and the 378GNR, with the GNR having a 15% velocity edge.

boom stick45-70 79 grains capacity
405 win 77 or 78 grains capacity

Idaho SharpshooterBoomie,
just call Shiloh Sharps and ask. Both are .406 or .410 bullets. Original is smaller, some new rifles are .410 bullets.
Reason I know, is I got a Shiloh in 40-65
