Gunner and all; the factory standard for my Winchester 1895 .405 WCF is a .411 300 grain bullet at 2200 fps and it is easy to safely hand load higher than that.

I found that a 300 grain North Fork bullet at that velocity is deadly on water buffalo and all other game in the US. So, I loaded my .405 WCF with 400 grain .411 Woodie Weldcores to 2100 fps and went to Africa and killed a Cape Buff. This is the velocity equal of the well known 450/400 double rifle which has taken all the game in Africa. It is also 400 Whelen velocity, therefore the sky is the limit for you Wheelies in the US, Africa, and elsewhere!!! Also true for my .405 WCF with appropriate bullets.



Olsa Johnson killed 3 Cape Buffalo 🐃 and turned the heard as her husband filmed with 1895 Winchester in 405
