Francois:  Your Krag 'Sporter' must have been fitted with a non-military/commercial barrel.  How is the condition of the bore?

I also think that's a commercial/aftermarket barrel : no marking, and no small circle in the top of the barrel. This barrel has never been drilled for a rear sight installation.
The bore is excellent, as new.

A question about the 30-40 Krag cartridge : may I reload with the same bullets than my M1903 (180gr HPBT)..? or is it better to reload with RN bullets?
