Looking at getting a #1 in .405 myself. I've got no real experience with this cartrdige. What I'm curious about is the recoil in the #1 compared to other chamberings, specifically the #1 in .45-70. Doubtful I'll shoot it enough to reload so I'm thinking more along the lines of factory ammo. However, after lookig around after reading this thread, I'm kinda likng what I see with the Barnes offerings.
