Ladies and Gentlemen, I present unto you, the .475 Turnbull. This monster cartridge is a necked down .500 brass that takes a .475 diameter bullet. This rifle can shoot a 400gr monolithic bullet at 2150 fps with 4107 ft/lbs of energy, that is pretty much the same as the revered .416 Rigby. I only just found out about this absolute unit but I think it deserves a spot in game as the only class 7-9 (maybe oneday even 7-10) lever gun in game.

I’d rather .405 Winchester tbf.
6-10🤞🤞🤞
.405 would be amazing, i also honestly prefer it lol
But do you think it would make an appropriate 10 ?
I see with a 300gr load the .405 shoot at 2204fps with 3236ft/lbs of energy compared to the .375 H&H's 300gr going 2559fps with 4363ft/lbs
Maybe its good for 10's but not for an elephant or something from the front
It was good enough for Roosevelt.
true true
not on the elephant though, he used a .500/450 for that
either way the .405 has been my favorite lever gun for years
