Title: Re: ? about reloads for the 30-40 Krag

Get the load tables (bound copies are available online) and be mindful of the barrel length indicated. Commercial ammo is loaded right up to the "maximum" loads allowed in the tables so it may not be the best choice to start with! For target shooting, the added velocity usually exceeds that which is most accurate. It's best to work up loads in steps. Of those powders you listed, the 4064 (IMR) can provide good load densities for 150 grain or 165 bullets - otherwise you'll want to get some 4350 (IMR) for the 180-220 range bullets. Good Luck!
