What these Woodleigh Winchester bullets are and who they are for

That heavy weight and blunt profile give the 405 Winchester the momentum and sectional density that earned Roosevelt admiration on large, tough game.

Built by Woodleigh, these projectiles bring modern consistency to a caliber that most makers stopped supporting long ago.

About the 405 Winchester and its history

The 405 Winchester was introduced in 1904 for the Model 1895 lever action, and it earned lasting fame as the rifle Theodore Roosevelt praised as big medicine on his celebrated African safari. It is a big, deep driving cartridge that relies on a heavy round nose bullet to deliver momentum and penetration on large, tough game. Factory ammunition for it has always been intermittent, so the handloader is the reason these historic rifles still hunt rather than merely decorate a wall. Correctly sized, quality components are the heart of keeping one of these classic lever guns in working order.

Confirm your rifle bore and groove diameter before you begin, since older barrels can vary, then develop the load in careful increments from trustworthy data. Seat to a length that cycles reliably through the Model 1895 action, and apply a crimp suited to a lever gun so recoil does not disturb the rounds in the magazine. Confirm function and zero before hunting, and inspect the vintage rifle as part of the routine. Store the box cool and dry to protect the soft noses. Loaded with respect, a 405 keeps taking big game the way it did in Roosevelt day.
