I've always thought a FB would be better in a Krag with a standard throat. A few of those 173gr Thomas bullets would be nice to try. These bullets are getting up there in length at 1.245" for the PRVI and 1.26" for the Hornady. Their major diameter is still in the case neck when the ogive hits the rifling, especially that of the Hornady. That ought to at least minimize yaw or tip.
