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.


1. For "paper punching" at 100 yards, there's no need for that much velocity. 1100 to 1500 fps is plenty and can work well without gas checks. Don't, however, expect outstanding results with commercial cast bullets, which seldom fit as well as those you cast and size yourself.

2. That's not the Parkhurst system. Home-grown charger.
