Title: Re: Recommendatons for reloading 180 grain sp for Krag

I should clarify that I shoot paper only. The 46 grain wallop is just not needed for it. On a colder day I have shot factory ammo in my 30” Krags with good results – but better so with the lighter “accuracy” loads. The same 46gr/IMR4350/180gr bullet recipe will give you about 2200fps in a 22” Krag which IS the accuracy load (Loadbook, Sierra, Pg. 15). I have 22", 24" and 30” Krags and would use 46gr but just not in the 30” for shooting paper. Parashooter, that data you listed says it is for a 25.5” barrel yet the velocities seem to be in keeping with a 30” barrel (per my previous post). Hot day maybe?  I am starting to wish they listed a test temperature. If not ‘hot day’ then we could expect the fps and the CUP to pick a bit if they also tested a 30” rifle - no?
