About the 1895, having seen so many in the black and white Safari and expedition photos. But I also remember reading of some mechanical failure with the Roosevelt Safari. Perhaps Kermit’s gun? Many times they cite the 1895 as simply a .30 cal. or .30 Govt. Not as helpful as one might think, is it the early .30-03 Govt., .30-40 Krag, or .30-06? If it’s pre 1903 the mystery is solved. I figure one in .30-40 would fare pretty well if they feed good with the rim.

Has anyone ever snipped the point from a 30cal
