My first desire was a 405, but after looking at the recoil, I decided for something less. The 35 was a consideration, but after looking at guns, calibers and configurations, I took this 40-72. I don't see me having more than one 1895, but I could be wrong...

You "looked" at the 405 recoil? Or felt it? I shoot my .405 often, and can assure you that the recoil is not bad, and I'm not a sadist for recoil either! Also, I have a .35WCF 1895 and brass is tough to find for it, although it's easily formed from .30-40 brass.


Can I assume your .405 is at least outfitted with a shotgun style butt? Also, I have heard of problems associated with forming .35WCF brass out of .30-40 - apparently you aren't encountering any?
