The .450/400 2 3 ⁄ 8 inch Black Powder Express was loaded with a bullets from 210 to 270 grains (14 to 17 g) driven by 79 to 84 grains (5.1 to 5.4 g) of black powder. The .450/400 2 3 ⁄ 8 inch Nitro for Black was loaded with a jacketed 270 grain round nose bullet driven by 38 grains (2.5 g) of cordite.
Common rifle cartridges, from the largest .50 BMG to the smallest .22 Long Rifle with a $1 United States dollar bill in the background as a reference point.. This is a table of selected pistol/submachine gun and rifle/machine gun cartridges by common name.
The original 27 g (410 gr) bullet has a sectional density of .338 and at a velocity of 700 m/s (2,300 ft/s) generated 6,375 J (4,702 ft⋅lbf). The energy generated by the cartridge was on par with that of .450 Nitro Express which, until the ban on the 11.6 mm (0.458 in) caliber in India and the Sudan in the early 1900s, had been the standard ...
The typical 400-grain (26 g) bullet will have a sectional density of .338 for the .400 H&H Magnum vs. .330 for the .416 caliber cartridges. The .400 H&H Magnum shares the same caliber with several .400 cartridges from the turn of the 20th century such as the .400 Jeffery Nitro Express , the 405 Winchester and the series of .450/400 cartridges.
The .450/400 2 3 ⁄ 8 inch Nitro Express was loaded with a 400 gr. RN bullet with 42 or 43 grains of cordite and was meant for use in newer rifles chambered for the .450/400 2 3 ⁄ 8 inch case as this loading generates greater pressure than the Black Powder Express versions of the cartridge.
The .450 Dakota launches a 500 gr (32 g) at 2,550 ft/s (780 m/s), a 550 gr (36 g) at 2,450 ft/s (750 m/s) and a 600 gr (39 g) at 2,350 ft/s (720 m/s). The .450 Dakota should be considered the ballistic equivalent of the .460 Weatherby Magnum from the standpoint of power and operating pressure. .450 Rigby performance tends to be somewhat lower ...
The .40-65 Winchester (also called the .40-65 Winchester and Marlin) [1] was an American rifle cartridge. Introduced in 1887 for the Winchester Model 1886 , and available in Winchester single shots and in the Marlin Model 1895 , it was "a further effort to put more steam" in repeating rifle cartridges.

By way of comparison, the .416 Rigby and .416 Remington Magnum cartridges fire .416 in (10.57 mm) bullets of 400 gr (26 g) at 2,400 feet per second (730 m/s) with a muzzle energy of approximately 5,000 foot-pounds force (6,800 N⋅m). These cartridges exceed the ballistic performance of the .404 Jeffery but at the price of greater recoil and ...
