Title: Re: ammo
Post by dmg4 on Dec 29th, 2009 at 10:48am
Whoops: I think "Needanswers" is looking for information on loading for the Norwegian Krag, 6.5 X 55.  I've taken to buying the cheapo Swede ammo from Samco, pulling the bullet, and dumping about 20% of the powder charge.  That drops the velocity to around 2,100 fps in the 29" barrel of my 1917 Krag rifle, and much less expensive than handloading from components.  If I had a need to slay something other than paper with this rifle, I might load it up a bit faster, but I want to stay below 40,000 psi chamber pressure.

"Your mileage may vary"
