I have good luck using the Lyman 311291 @ .311 diameter, with 18.0 gr SR4759. I use a Lee .303 collet neck sizer, and Lyman M expander die. I get 1500 fps and groups run around 1.5 inches at 100 yards, from both my 1898 and 1899 Krags. At this loading level, the brass lasts forever, and can be loaded many times before FL sizing is necessiary.
