I have a Number 1 in .405, I bought the last 200 rounds of Hornady brass I have ever seen online and also have 3 boxes of the Hornady factory ammo, 2 with the pointed bullet and 1 with the original flat point. I found 3 full boxes of original Winchester 300 gr. RN factory ammo online as well. The rifle shoots very close to MOA with the Hornady ammo. I have not yet started loading for it but also stocked up with Hornady and Woodleigh bullets. I'm glad I got all this stuff while the getting was good, because the .405 picture is starting to look a bit bleak.
Those Hornady flat points are impressive on deer. The two I shot with them last fall each traveled about two feet, straight down.
However, I am having shoulder replacement surgery in 2 weeks, so I wonder if I will still be able to use this rifle in the future. The recoil is not horrendous, but it is certainly not a .243.
