'justbob87' - Welcome to the KCA Forum. It is neat that you inherited your Grandpa's Krag.

If you post some clear close-up pictures, you will get a lot of good information regarding your Krag. It important to clearly show sights, markings, barrel muzzle 'crown', and Stock forearm tip.

Krag ammo can be found in small independent gun shops and some gun shows. $30 to $40 a twenty round box seems the going rate.

Reloading is a lot of fun and Reloading Manuals like Hornady's or Lee's clearly explain the basics.

Lee reloading equipment is decent, probably the least expensive, and can turn out quality ammo.

You just missed out on the appearance of new .30-40 Brass on the Graf's & Sons web site. I'm sure there will be more.

It is always best to start out with a box of recent U.S. factory ammo (Remington or Winchester, with 180 grain round nosed bullets). Most Krags shoot this load well and it gives you a point for comparison.

What State are you in? Maybe there is a KCA Forum Member nearby that can give you some guidance.
