[/quote] My Brother in-law(oldest sister's husband) passed away earlier this year and while talking to my sister last night she told me she was bringing his rifles, ahotguns, handguns with her when she comes down for Christmas and giving them to me. None of her kids want them and she doesn't want them around the house anymore. Two of the rifles are original Win. M95's in .30-06 and .405. All of his firearms are in excellent shape but is modern ammo for the .405 safe to shoot in this older M95? Lawdog In the Hornaday 6th addition reloading manual they list original advertised vel was 2200 fps and a muzzle energy of 3224 ft /lbs which is exactly what there factory loads are, In there loading manual they show up too 2250 fps with a 300 grain bullet and do not mention any restictions on older guns, As far as the 06 I woldn't be afraid at all to shoot modern ammo if its in good shape. But still these are old guns you might want too box them up and give them to me. LOL I would shure shoot them Cecil
