Just for conversation… some things about
That you may have not seen.
The .405 Graneder (?) is an attempt to get .405 Winchester ballistics from the 1895 Marlin (336) chassis. It’s the .45/70 necked to .411”.

The .405 JES is a modern .40-65 Win. of sorts. A .444 case tapered to use .405 Win. type bullets. Some gunsmiths are “re-bore” working existing .30-30 cal. guns for around $300! But there is some risk there.

I saved this photo of a simple .35-30 Wn. Only because I have that same 280 gr. bullet mold. I’m not sure modern .358 twist rates can handle that long bullet intended for .35 Win., .358 Norma, etc. it needs a meplat hand filed on the bullet tip, little bigger than a LG rifle primer. For use in tube mags.
