Will it ever make it much ahead of the .401 or .41 GNR’s? Maybe with heavier bullets like that 250 gr it would do a little better. Out of a rifle you could certainly get full burn of proper powders. I suppose it would be neat to plunk in a long straight cartridge kinda like a mini nitro express lol

Certainly would make an interesting study in efficiency........ .401 vs .400 finding where the threshold of barrel length/velocity gains lies

The .400 GNR sounds so intriguing to me - WB, 2018-01-26, 13:29

  - no, it was developed for lever guns. It is a 30-30 case - Gary Reeder, 2018-01-26, 17:32
    - What models - Leadhound, 2018-01-27, 06:04
      - either of those will work fine. (nm) - Gary Reeder, 2018-01-27, 15:57

  - It's basically a 25 gr. vs 40 gr. capacity - WB, 2018-01-26, 15:52
- I am right there with you,though I have a Marlin 36 waiting - JPL, 2018-01-26, 15:27
  - The Marlin is probably a better platform - WB, 2018-01-26, 15:59
    - That 400 - Kantos Krieg, 2018-01-26, 16:28
      - FWIW, .38-40 dies will reload it fine as will .40/10mm - WB, 2018-01-26, 17:41
