This bullet was originally designed for the 411 Hawk and Brown Whelen class of cartridge. It can be driven to nearly 2600 from a bolt gun and 2500 from a M95 Winchester 411 Hawk. It was designed to open at a lower velocity so that the Hawk cartridge would be usable out to 300 yds. This bullet is best used on deer, pigs, and animals on up to elk. It has the proper operating range for the 405 Winchester cartridge but the longer ogive may prove problematic in the M95. I do know that the OAL of the 405 cartridge would be too long if the case is crimped in the front groove, but I know of no reason that it needs to be crimped there. If it could be seated further into the case and crimped with a Lee die, it should work.
