Title: Re: Recommendatons for reloading 180 grain sp for Krag
Post by knute on Nov 11^th, 2011 at 2:14am

I've used 46 grains of IMR4350 in my 24" barrelled Krag using a 180 grain round nose bullet. It chronographed at around 2200fps. Most books list this as a maximum load and yield over 2400fps. I used some Remington loaded ammunition in my Krag which yielded over 2400fps. But I will stay with my load as is. Don't need to push things too much.
