Title: Re: Krag ammunition and Head spaces

I wanted to thank evryine for their help. I was able to take gun out yesterday and shoot it with my dad. Talking to him about it he had didn't think that my grandfather had ever shot tbat gun. He couldn't afford the ammo. So that gun might not have been fired since WWII. My dad also told me my grandfather picked that gun out of a pile of guns that were surrender after the battle of the bulge.

As a side note I bought my ammo from buffalo arms and about a third of the rounds we fired the casings split on them. I took them to a gun smith to find out if it was the ammo or the gun. He showed me it was the ammo. It had not been loaded correctly and showed me visible lines on the ammo tbat shouldn't be there and that that was were they we're splitting.  So with my experience I wouldn't recommend buying ammo from there.
