After many years of customer requests, Buffalo Bore is proud to introduce the pinnacle of 405 Winchester ammunition.
Item # 405 Win 350 SOLID features a true solid flat nose CEB (Cutting Edge Bullet) made from homogenous brass. The design is exceptional—engineered for deep, straight-line penetration with minimal bearing surface on the rifling, which keeps pressures extremely low.
Thanks to modern propellants and advanced bullet engineering, we’re producing powerful loads that remain within SAAMI pressure specifications. One of our test rifles is a 107-year-old Winchester Model 1895 (written in 2024), which was thoroughly inspected before firing. This 1917 rifle features a “nickel steel” barrel rated for smokeless powder. Important: Do not fire smokeless full-power ammo in older rifles not marked for smokeless use, as it may result in catastrophic failure and injury.
This solid penetrator load is truly one of a kind—no commercially available 405 Winchester ammo has ever offered this level of performance. With this load, your 405 Winchester is now suitable for dangerous game hunting in Africa.
