No hunting or competition, purely fun at the range. It'll make it to the range somewhat frequently (once a month maybe), so no safe queen, everything I own I shoot. I reload for my handguns and use hardcast lead, if I could do the same with the Krag I'd be very happy, which leads me to ask, where can I get 220gr .308 round nose hardcast lead bullets for reloading .30-40 krag (I can't cast my own right now, need to buy). So yes, I'd want a shooter that I can use lead bullets in, why is the carbine better for that?

I can't see either in person, they're on opposite sides of the country haha. The seller of the carbine doesn't know why the cut is there but speculates someone was going to cut it down and then changed their mind.

I'd be lost without the advice here, these Krags are damn complicated guns.
