Title: Re: Original US Army 30-40 Load
Post by fourbore on Jun 14th, 2019 at 5:14pm
I am another new Krag owner. Let me ask, is there anything wrong headed about using 37.5gr 4350 with Hornady 220 RN bullets for 1800 fps? No trial and error. Hornady 9th manual shows that as a middle load with 40gr as the max and 34.5gr as a safe min.  I am looking at 100 yard shooting.

If that makes sense, I could get the same ballistics with another middle level load of 40gr 4831 for the same 1800 fps and better load density.  Does it matter?
