Woody, some years back I had a Belgian built cape gun, 16/.405. Lost my mind and sold it one day and have regretted it since. The .405 rocks and wishing you luck with the paper punchin'.
Oooops !... Dan that must be a hard pill to swallow these days, I've sold a few choice pieces over the years I regret mostly vintage scatter guns though. The 405 does rock and seems to be making a comeback among loonies as it deserves a place among the better big bores especially in lever attire. So far this bullet shoots well but I've had to seat it deeper due to the short leade or lack thereof in these Miroku guns...First chrono loads were surprising they clocked 1847 avg with 46 grs of 4895..A tad faster than I want but will play with some reduced charges to settle around the 1500-1600 neighborhood.
