Folks:  thank you for your help. I rest easy with the Remington ammunition for the first generation of shooting. 

Now, let me ask 2 reloading questions from whomever may help. 

1.  The Remington 30-40  220 gr  bullets that I see commercially available on-line, e.g. the Hornady, are all soft point.  Are there jacketed non-soft round nose  point bullets available, being more in form with the originals?  Who makes make them?

2.  I understand now that the Remington 180gr rounds are within the safe tolerance of my '96 Krag and will go to the range with them to harvest brass.  That being understood, I am nevertheless interested in shooting a reduced load that will be satisfactory at the 100 yard range.  I would ask for suggestions on the powder load  -- the brand of powder, type of powder and possible load  -- even if it is not likely to offer match accuracy. 

Thanks.    Annapolis
