405 Winchester loads for M1895
Anyone worked up any loads for the M1895 Winchester in 405 Win? I recently acquired one and want to start reloading for it so any help will be greatly appreciated. I would really like to know if it is possible to get around 2100 fps with a 400 bullet.

Thanks,
Scott

Scott, I've got one of the new 95's. I've only shot the 300 gr. Hornady's but was able to get 2240 fps with 56 gr. of IMR-3031. That's good enough for me and what I'll use it for. After all the 405 isn't exactly a hot-rod. Anyway, I know you're looking for info for the 400's, I just wanted to pass along what I had. Hope it helps.
