Nice choice in calibers!!! Mine's just a .405 win in an H&R Target with the 28" barrel. Hardly in the class of a custom, but works for me and shoots factory ammo into one ragged hole at 100yds.

Nice !

I've got a #1-B in .405 with a 24" barrel, if I were doing it again I'd go with a 26 or 28" for balance.

I'm shooting the 400gr Woodleigh at about 2,000fps with Varget. Three shots into one big hole at 100 yards from the bench and it punches a big hole through a lot of critter in the field! 265gr LFP/gc with Unique at 1,400 fps for fun.

You'll like it.

I haven't got around to shooting any handloads yet, have 30 rounds with H4895 and 350gr Barnes X-bullets loaded up, hope to get around 2100-2150fps out of em. Factory 300gr shoots 2230-2250fps. I'm using the 400gr Woodleigh data provided by Ty Herring at Barnes. I'm hoping the H4895 will utilize the 28" barrel.

Great info and nice setups. Now I'll have to get another set a dies :-)
