Description and performance
Winchester factory loads utilized a 250 grain soft point bullet at a muzzle velocity of 2,195 feet-per-second with a resulting muzzle energy of 2,674 foot-pounds. Because of the 1895 rifle's box magazine pointed bullets may be used which enhance the long range effectiveness of the cartridge. While obsolete, it is generally considered sufficient for all large game animals in North America..30-40 Krag brass can be used to form.35 Winchester cases. The three original calibers for the Winchester 1895 were the 30 U.S. (.30-40 Krag),.35 Winchester, and.405 Winchester and they all share an almost identical rim and base diameter, as well as pressure ratings (see Winchester M1895). It was intended to be a medium-sized caliber in the M1895 family falling between the.30-40 Krag and the.405 Winchester, and so it outperformed the.33 Winchester but was less potent than the.348 or.358. Enough at short or medium ranges against moose, elk, or even brown bear, it is suitable for any big game in North America, though it lacks the versatility of more modern rounds. It was dropped in 1936, along with the 1895 rifle. Loads developing 45,000 CUP or over should be avoided in those nearly 100 year old Winchester M1895 lever guns. Judicious loading with modern powders must stay below, and certainly not exceed, that pressure limitation. • Illustration — The.35 Win cartridge.
