So you thought you were getting a 30-40 but got an ‘06? I’ve often wondered how the barrels were marked on 30-40, 30-03, and 30-06 on the model 95’s throughout production. We’re all three 30 Government at one time?

Do any of you guys have some .358 bullets I can load in my 35WCF? 220-250 grain? I want to take it elk hunting this year. I have 55 Speer hot core 250’s but I’d like to do some practicing.

This is a Great thread and makes me want/need to renew my hunt for a or a couple 95's. I have not seen any at gun shows here in WY. Anyone know where to look other than Gun Broker? I kick myself for passing on a few 95's back in the day when I was young and dumb.

From reading this thread we are diminished and a knowledge base gone.

If I make it to 81 I would hope that I could be doing what he was, put in the woods with an 1895 Winchester…god willing. Rest easy good sir!

Here is another thread booster, my well used 1895 .405 - Performed well in several US states and in Africa where it took a Cape Buffalo. One of my favorite big bores.
