I whole heartedly disagree. Hunters have been taking record game with Krags using standard velocities and 220 grain RN bullets for almost a hundred years! Remember, with a heavy bullet like the 220 gr RN, the bullet has enough mass to penetrate and expand well at lower velocities. Just think about the damage the 500 grain mini-ball caused at 1200 FPS out of a civil war musket... astonishing!!! Nope, the 220 grain RN should serve you quite well at standard Krag pressures and velocities! |
