I'll second the 300gr Woodleigh. I shoot it in my Winchester 1895 (405 Win) at around 2400 fps. I also load and shoot the 400gr (0.411" dia) Woodleigh in my Winchester at 2050+fps. The only issue the 400 gr Woodleigh in the Winchester is the cannelure is too far back toward the base to allow crimping AND fitting the cartridge into the magazine. I have both flattened the nose and re-cannelured bullets with equal success. The maximum cartridge overall length that my Winchester will handle is 3.170" (others way vary). I would NOT recommend loading cartridges in the Winchester which are longer than the magazine will accept, as there seems to be precious little throat/freebore in the Winchester's chamber.

By the way, both of those loads (300gr and 400 gr) are hotter than SAAMI spec (they run around 60 ksi) so I strongly recommend working your way up to them. Also Hodgdon powder has load data for the 400gr Woodleigh on their website.
