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.

Good morning,
Did you hunt w Leeuwkop at their ranch or in Zimbabwe? The ranch looks awesome, but I'll be in Zimbabwe for buffalo and whatever else we dig up.
What did you hunt for?
Vaccines?
What rifle did you use?
I feel like I need a good cotton safari shirt and an ammo belt to make the hunt feel right!
How often did you shoot prior to going?
Did you use sticks for shooting practice?
