Event BOX MAGAZINE REPEATING RIFLE MODEL 1895. .35 CALIBER have adapted the Winchester Model 1895 box magazine repeating rifle to handle a new Smokeless Powder cartridge, known as the Winchester .35 Caliber, which is the most powerful shooting cart ridge, at both long and short ranges ever offered. Rifles for this cartridge are made with 34 inch ronnd nickel steel barrels, and weigh about 8 i-a Ibs. The Winchester .35 Caliber Cartridge em bodies high velocity and consequent flat trajectory, great energy and striking power, making it a very desir able cartridge for hunting the biggest game known. Some idea of its tremendous killing power may be gained from the fact that the striking energy of this cartridge at aoo yards equals the mtiszle energy of the .45-70. This cartridge is loaded with a 250 grain soft point metal patched bullet, and special Smokeless powder, which imparts to the bullet a mussle velocity 3 200 foot seconds, thereby developing amuzsle energy of 2,685 foot pounds. The penetration at 15 feet from the mtusle is 15 7-8 inch pine boards. Owing to their size and high velocity, .35 Caliber soft point bullets upset, or mushroom, "in a most perfect manner.
