Good luck finding the brass.
Oddly enough no shortage of .405 Winchester ammo out there - you could buy it and break it down and sell the bullets. Or let a friend with a .405 shoot it all up. Or buy an 1895!
Where are you seeing 405 ammo in stock? At 55$ per box of 20, it's a pretty spendy deal to come up with 200 rounds of empty brass...

That's not that out of line with Rocky Mountain and other expensive cases, but granted it isn't cheap.
