I was pleased that three mixed 'brands' of 180 grain Krag ammo were basically staying within six inches at 100 yards.

I'm sure the group will tighten up, when I shoot only my reloads.

One of the rifles would benefit from 'smoothing' the trigger-pull.

It was very difficult for my eyes to maintain a consistent sight-picture with the thin front blade. This exacerbated vertical stringing. I may improvise a wider front-sight blade and experiment with different shooting Glasses.

Some Positives:

1. My reloads with 180 grain RN Sierra projectile and 42 grains of W-W 760 shot to same approximate point of impact, at 100 yards, as factory ammo with good reputation in Krags.

2. Fired cases could be chambered easily in both rifles, no matter which rifle they had been  fired in.

3. All 180 grain RN rounds (fired) fed smoothly through both magazines.

4. All 180 grain loadings were very pleasant to shoot.

5. Paper Desert Plates (measuring just under 6 inches), stapled to cardboard, make a useful and cheap target at 100 yards. (I may try vibrant colored ones).
