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.

Noah,
I might be interested in the 470 Woodleigh Softs if the price is right for the entire lot. Are you planning on going to the Tulsa Gunshow in November? If so, perhaps we could meet up.
