What are the odds all the stars would align and it could happen? Could a SxS shotgun serve as a donor action? Pressures for the 375 Winchester would perhaps overwhelm the shotguns receiver rating?


I would look for .405 Winchester double. Belgian ones from respectable makers show up now and then eg Raick Freres, Le Forgeron,......
