When I was looking for a starting load for my Krag rifle, I found a lot of very stupid B.S. on the web. I read through the suggested loads here, and tried the 220 grain load, (220 gr. Hornady RN, 40.0 grs. IMR 4350, Remington 9 1/2 primer). At the range, my rifle shot 1 and 3/4 inch groups at 300 yards with that load. Not all groups were that good, most under a minute. Thank all of you who suggested that load! I have a Model 1898 made in 1901, with the 1901 Buffington rear sight. I measured the bore at the muzzle, .306 on the lands, .308 in the grooves. With my 72 year old eyes, I actually shoot better at 300, than 100. I use MR 36 C high power targets at 300. My next endeavor will be 600 yards.
