Title: Re: Norwegian Krag

Hi Mussonor,

Thanks for the e-mail.  I tested some 140gr Sierra bullets and the combination I used with 41 grn of IMR 4831 was not quite as accurate as the 120 grn combination that I was using.  I have attached a 1.25" five shot group at 100 yards with the 120 grn combo.  I know if I shifted some of the variables with the 140 grn load that it most likely would make a difference but for now I think I will stick to the 120's.  I checked with the NRA highpower event leaders and they will allow me to use the Krag in a competition however I will not get any extra time since it is a bolt action.  I have the rifle zeroed in at 200 yards and will let you know how it does compared to the M1A.

Thanks again,

Haakon
