400 Legend

[Billy G]

Mine arrived yesterday. Looks good last nite I started sizing. Finished this AM. Then swaged primer pockets and cleaned them.
The brass is back in wet tumble now then dryer.

Received 101 pcs.

Mine arrived about 30 min. ago. haven't opened bag yet but it looks good.

 

[Billy G]

Opened the bag ,this is nice looking brass. None are tarnished no bent case mouths. This looks in better condition than a lot of new brass I have bought. I will definitely buy from them again if I need brass that I can't find new. I also got 101 pieces.

The 41 Great Lakes is built on the 41 Mag bullets. The adds I watch, advertise it in strong bolt guns with long barrels. The 400 can be loaded stutter in a bolt gun too.
At the end of the day if you like .410 over .400 its a better choice for you.

Eating salad with the proper fork and using linen napkins.

CW did it take the full 8 weeks to get your Accurate mold.

No, It was just over a month.

Has anybody tried Unique for subsonic loads in the 400 Legend? I've got 175, 200 & 230 grain molds. I think the 230 would make a good bullet for a sub load.

 

[Tomme boy]

Should work well. I loaded some 350 legend subs with it. 9gr with a 200gr bullet went 930fps

I would have thought it would have been stouter than that with 9gr in that small of a case. I guess with a bullet that heavy is why the velocity was that low.

CW did a bunch of sub loads for the 350 so he might have a better guess at what to load. I think he used Herco. But the data will be almost exactly the same for unique.

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

I bought a 265g mold just for this!!!

No loading here yet as I have no gun...

Yes Herco was my choice
For the 350. But because I had a few pounds and had not used since 8 stopped loading 20ga twenty years ago..

Unique is fine as would about any of the colored flakes.

I’m sitting here thinking that a Mini Mk X bolt action in .400 Legend would be a neat gun to have…..
More in depth study is called for.

Im trying ta justify a Contender carbine bbl in .400....

"Justify?"

It would just be rationalizations, so why bother? Just get one!

@Rushcreek , the mini MKX would be cool!

I ALMOST bought another CZ527 for the specific purpose of chambering it for the 350L (as much as I don't care for the cartridge) so I could have a 16" 357 Max in a full-stocked bolt-gun.

ALMOST.

 

[Jeff H]

Me, I'm holding out for a 375 Legend.

The only place I could find A TC barrel in 400 Legend is EABCO & only heavy 24". I bought one & shortened it to 20". Others mite have one now.

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

Exactly...

I want about 18". I require threads. Prefer 11/16x24 to match 450BM.

Definitely do not want 24" in 400 Legend!

Then 8-10week leade

And lastly 550$

And lastly 550$

Boy they have went up. I bought mine About 4 or 5 months ago & I think it was $419 or $429.
