Good point... and duly noted!  I would never exceed even moderate loads in either of my Krags, under any circumstances.  They are just too precious to me.  I just think that the test is a good example of how safe the Krag action is, even if the lug does crack.  Of course, the Krag design does have it's shortcomings, but I love them nonetheless!  Besides, I can produce 1 to 2 inch groups at 200 yards with the open sights, and that is freakin' accurate in anyones book!!!
