Ruger #1 in .405 Win
 
Went to Cabelas today with every intention of coming home with a .45-70, well of course they didnt have what I was looking for, but I spent some time checking out the used gun rack, and found a Ruger #1 in .405 Win. It was an absolute beautiful gun!!! Stainless, grey laminate stock etc. I am not at all familiar with the .405 cartridge, does anyone have any experience with it? How does it compare with the 45-70, other than the usual, "You will find brass, bullets, reloading supplies easier for the 45-70" What makes this cartridge not show up on the radar much?????

thanks Rebel, did you read this one part that made me laugh???

Not many hunters wanted this kind of horsepower, and the vicious recoil of the original '95 with a standard stock that featured considerable drop ending in a crescent buttplate brought tears to many grown men. Oddly, the round was considered too big for North American game unless grizzly bears or moose were in front of the sights. It was a time when there was such a thing as "too much gun."
:D:D Sounds like my kind of gun!!!!!!!!

That's the exact reason..at least its not a cookie cutter cartridge like everyone else owns. Good Luck with it if you decide to buy.

When both are loaded in the Ruger number one there is not much difference in performance. The 45-70 had the edge in bullet weight and availability. You could gain a little velocity with the 405 with its lighter bullets but not much. I believe I recently read that T/C has also chambered the Encore in 405 Winchester. I think Hornady loads their ammo for it as well.

My cousin has an original 95 in 405.
