Concurrent with my interest in acquiring a double rifle I've been doing some research on calibers. My initial thought was for a .470 NE and it's still my main "thought" but I was thinking that looking at other .40 calibers would give me a bit wider range of "vintage" British rifles to consider. But my searching so far has not found any readily available (in stock) .40 cal dies/brass in other than .470 or .450/400. I have seen nice looking rifles in calibers such as 450#2 and other calibers but no dies/brass. Are there other .40 calibers with brass/dies available currently?

I am not willing to order/wait for custom dies or other components so the caliber has to be one for which I can order the necessary reloading components/have them in the normal shipping timeframe.
 
Decided on a 450/400 rather than a 470 - ordered the brass/dies from Midway. Sent two email messages to a well-known double rifle seller several days ago re buying a rifle on his site but no response yet.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
