[QUOTE="MustangMike, post: 7612144, member: 120204"] I looked it up and it is box fed, pointed bullets, but only short action (308 but no 30-06). So I conclude that it is 125 years late to the party, and still does not shoot the 30-06! (OK, so the 30-03 and 30-06 were not really offered until 1903 and 1906 respectively!) But the 30-40 Krag, 30 Russian and 35 Winchester could all shoot pointed bullets. I believe the 405 bullets were 300 grain round nose. Winchester intended the 95 to be a military firearm, and the Russians used it as such, but it failed US military testing as they said a lever action was difficult to cycle in the prone position.
