silhouette cartridges

[Dave Roelle]

The question is asked because of this unique situation

40-70-SS is almost identical to 405 Winchester

40-70-SS is sometimes formed from 30-40 Krag and 405 Winchester

the 405 Winchester fails the "rules" because it was made after the cut off date and for that other powder

40-70-SS shooters could be accused of shooting the 405 because of the headstamp

I plan to shoot a 405 Winchester at silhouettes, for fun at least (the rifle is a friends and a beauty of a Highwall) and hope it could be accepted as legal but knowing "the rules" i betcha it won't be allowed as a 40-70 SS-----------barrel is stamped 405
