Rather fond of 40's and the 400-410 gr. bullet myself. My Shiloh #1 Sporter in 40-70 SS and the Lyman 410 gr. cast bullet will go through a deer lengthways. Worked up a cast load for my Ruger #1 in 450/400 using the same bullet over Trail Boss and ended up with nearly identical ballistics to the 40-70. Can't imagine results would be any different. I keep some full house 450/400 loads on hand in case we ever have an influx of elephant or Cape Buffalo in our garden.
