Title: First Krag
Post by Ajgtanker on Oct 23^rd, 2016 at 5:02pm

Well I picked up my first Krag. It looks like a semi sporterized school model. Took it to the range today and it shot great. I reloaded some 303 brass with 42gr 4350 and speer 220gr bullets planning on a hog hunt at some point with it.

Nice rifle, glad you like it and good luck with your hunting.

Back off 2.0 grains on the 4350. That will give you close to original ballistics with less chance of a cracked bolt lug. & that is from first hand experience. I did it. The hogs will never know the difference.
