???SIL? - Sister-in-Law? ('Interesting Women' - come with Krags and Springfields).

BTW - I tried the fired .30-40 Brass in two more model 1898 Krags and it chambered without a problem. That is a total of seven different rifles, carbines, and 'cut-downs'.

I think that goes beyond chance and good luck. I am thinking it is a combination of good quality control at Springfield and low pressures in the reloads, allowing more 'case spring-back'.
