40/90bn

What is your finding that makes the .40-2-5/8 so temperamental? is it something with the cartridge or are there other factors involved, like recoil or torque that makes it hard to control? I have a .40 cal. high wall I been thinking on rechambering it for the .40-90 bn because I like the BN cases.
I have a couple .44-2-5/8 bn's that are basically the same as the .40 bn except a smaller diameter bullet and both shoot quite well. I found that this caliber is a little harder to control the torque then the .40-70 or the .45-90 but the load development was fast and with good results.

I keep reading that the .44-77 is a hard cartridge to load for because of the bottle necked case but mine shoots just about anything you want to fill the case with and a bullet with in reason. Very good shooter.
