Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers 348 Winchester Bullet Test...6 bullets at high and low speed.

The 405 has more recoil for sure but it's still pretty easy to handle if you have a decent recoil pad. The old style crescent steel butt plates are quite horrible and probably the reason the 405's had such a bad reputation for kick. A 300 grain bullet propelled at 22-2400fps isn't too bad in a modern context.
