I just bought an 1898 long Krag (for an insane deal, I might add), but I have reservations about shooting some new-production commercial Remington ammo... I foolishly didn't check the back of the box after I bought it, thinking that any comm ammo would be very underloaded considering the niche nature of Krags. When I got to my car though, I realized the box said the 180-grain  projectile would be moving at 2430 ft/sec. 2360 ft lbs. Pointed soft point.

Essentially, does this sound too hot for a long 1898 Krag? According to my gunsmith the rifle is in excellent condition and has no mechanical defects. .303 Brit speeds just seem too hot though. Also, does anybody know what PSI those rounds would be? I couldn't dig up anything.

(ammo pictured is unrelated to question, those are some 180-gr Super Xs)
