.401 Winchester Self-Loading / .401 WSL (Cartridges of the World) Reloading Data

Warning! Notes: General Comments - The 401 is the most powerful of the Winchester Autoloading line, and the only one suitable for deer. The 401 found favor with many hunters as a quick, short-range number for hunting deer and black bear. Velocity is too low and the trajectory too high for this to be a useful cartridge beyond about 150 yards. It can be reloaded, but like all cartridges used in semi-auto guns, it is necessary to stick to the factory ballistics or the rifle action may not function properly. Proper bullet diameter is 0.406 inch, but 0.410-inch revolver bullets can sometimes be used safely - verify chamber clearance. With a bit of lathe work, 35 Remington cases can be converted to work perfectly in 401 WSL chambered rifles. (Cartridges of the World 10th Edition)
