Another .405 Win model 1895 Winchester

Like it fine. It is a Miroku/Winchester 1886 TD with 26 inch full octagon barrel and shoots 45-70 and 45-90 very accurately. I was battling an issue with m L yman bullet seater last night as it was not seating NF 350 SS bullets all the way. I found the problem to be something in the die that I will have to remove today.
Could be it just needs a good cleaning - I hope so.
I am up early to get some outdoor work done this morning and will get back to you with more later.

In 9.3x62 it would be the perfect match for your 405 sess

That was sold. Didnt really interest me anyway. I had the one earlier in .35 Whelen and it didnt do much for me either, it went down the road.
I am much happier with the original caliber .35 Winchester in an 1895 rifle.

I have one of each (Ruger Alaskan Bush Rifles) new in the box - just waiting for someone to take them off my hands...

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
