Winchester Repeating Arms 1885 Centerfire - Manual (Page 10)

A MMUNITION
Your Winchester Model 1885 is designed to shoot
modern factory cartridges only. The caliber of your new
Model 1885 is inscribed on the top of the barrel in front
of the receiver. Use only ammunition for which your
Model 1885 is chambered –– as indicated on the barrel
–– to prevent excessive pressure and possible serious
injury. Winchester ammunition is always an excellent
choice for your new rifle, delivering unmatched
performance and the dependability you want.
MAKE SURE YOU USE ONLY THE EXACT
AMMUNITION/CALIBER AS LISTED ON THE
BARREL.
Incorrectly reloaded ammunition can cause serious
personal injury and damage to the firearm due
to excessive pressure. Reload only after proper
instruction and in strict compliance with instructions
and data contained in current reloading manuals.
