Paul,
I believe that what I have are the old Hornady 220 gr RN FMJ projectiles (non-soft point). I picked them up from a guy who was selling them, advertised as original surplus (close enough for me),awhile back figuring one day I'd need them for the Krag I then didn't own. I really like shooting surplus ammo in my old military rifles so I figured loading to original 30-40 Krag specs was the best I'd get considering original surplus Krag ammo is either non-existent or too pricey due to being collectible (plus it's pretty old at this point). As an update, I loaded up 10 rounds today with neck sizing only and they seem like they'll work perfectly. I did as suggested and turned the FL sizing die out a full turn and the necks of the case for about half their lengths were sized. I had no issues getting bullets to seat and they chamber smoothly with no binding in my rifle. I'll give them a whirl next weekend when I can go shooting again. Thanks again for all the help.
