Title: Re: Reloading cast bullets for 1898 Krag Post by psteinmayer on Oct 4th, 2015 at 10:54pm
I shoot cast out of my cutoff sporter in CBA cast bullet matches. I have a Kraghaus long rail with a LER scope. Slugged at .310 also, I shoot 185 gr NOE 311365 gas checked bullets over 17 grains of AA 5744, which runs around 16 fps. I can usually group around 1" at 200 yards shooting at 5 inch CBA official targets. Bob Wolfe (madsenshooter) graciously casts these for me, as I don't have any casting experience of my own.
I've never tried shooting cast out of my 1898 rifle in any CMP matches however... but I know plenty of Krag shooters who do. For my CMP Match Krag, I shoot 220 gr jacketed RN bullets. |
