It’s kind of the same paradox as to why the .50 calibre is such a popular Muzzleloading calibre…the .50 calibre is legal for both deer and elk. It has a dual purpose in the minds of most outdoorsmen. “If I buy this gun, I can hunt my deer, and later if I want to…I can hunt elk with the same gun.”I get the idea of .32 or .36 guns for smaller game, I get the .45 for targets and deer, the general purpose .50 and the .54 on up big game thing but what is the need for .40 caliber?

Have you tried conical bullets out of any of them?Got two forties these days, one 16" twist and one 48". I'd like to have one in between.
The .400 was a very popular round specially in double rifles , that’s shooting bullets and cordite 1885 onward and one of the most favoured rifles for Africa. Why .400 and not .450 is just history buyers choice, ,I get the idea of .32 or .36 guns for smaller game, I get the .45 for targets and deer, the general purpose .50 and the .54 on up big game thing but what is the need for .40 caliber?
