Thanks for the replies. See I want to use lead though as I save a ton of money by shooting lead in all my guns except my AR. If you guys really think I should stick with jacketed I will, but it was my understanding that Krags worked really well with cast lead bullets.

I looked on midway at .308 jacketed round nose bullets in the 220gr weight and they're all $30+ per 100. No doubt that those are fine and necessary choices for hunting, but I don't hunt, all I want to do is have some fun punching paper at 100 yards and I'm not trying to win any competitions at that either.

If I did go with the lead bullets I linked above, I'm assuming I would need to put gas checks on them since most loads for Krags fall somewhere around 2000fps?

P.S. parashooter, do you have that parkhurst clip loading system that is shown in your avatar? My understanding is that they are very rare.
