I just saw this thread and and like many, have always heard what a great round the .404 Jeffrey is for African large and dangerous game. So, I looked up the 300 grain and 400 grain ballistics, and DANG, if it is not up close to my .405 WCF top 400 grain loads.!
A friend of mine has his 1895 .405 WCF 400 grain Woodleigh muzzle velocity up to 2157 fps and still being tweaked up to 2200 fps!
Who would have thunk it!??? An old "Made in the USA" 41 caliber rifle doing that well . :):):)
Eager now to try his loads in my Simson Suhl DR.
