You can load up to around 2200 fps (max) which is factory spec according to an older Lyman manual. It will deliver something around 3200-3300 ft/pounds at the muzzle which is plenty of smack for anything in the western hemisphere, and it is not a gentle loading at the other end either...especially if you have a curved butt plate.

Yes but the reproduction Lyman sight made by Peabody is a superior solution and costs about the same. You don't have some delicate stem sticking up in the air and in the way of your grip etc.
Wickyd,
You were certainly in the right place at the right time.
Even refinished and restocked, you got a really great deal. Contrary to what Elmer Keith thought of the look of the model '95, I think it looks very elegant. Most importantly, they're a joy to shoot.
I once got the attention of a Range Master by putting 5 rounds of 30-06 in an approx 12 foot diameter circle at a measured 700 yards, shooting an original model '95 with a Lyman 41 receiver sight, off-hand, while standing.
For someone with old guy eyes and quite shaky in the hands, I was pretty happy.
You're gonna have a ball with that rifle.

The fun has started.Now to get some more bullets.
i have a mold on the way just have to get a sizer.
rigged up a few dummy rounds just so i could run them thru the action here at the house.
I need to figure out how to fix the Lyman 56 peep to come about 3 more clicks right.
