I am rebuilding a 1894 .30WCF made in 1907 and plan on using IMR-4227 under a 160-180 grain lead bullet at 1600 fps. WebIn 1895, Winchester made a somewhat radical move, chambering the 94 rifle in the Winchester designed .30 Winchester Center Fire, Americas first smokeless powder, jacketed bullet hunting cartridge. Winchester's initial load for the .30 W.C.F featured a 160 grain metal patched bullet (RN-FMJ) loaded to a velocity of 1960fps from the M94’s 24” barrel.
