I loved shooting and hunting with this Krag. It was more than serviceable for what I wanted to use it for. I settled on a woods load of a Rem 180gr .310 RN and 36.0gr H-4895  at 2050fps for the equivalent of a slightly overweight 30-30 load. An accurate plinking load of 3.5gr 700-X and a .308 RB cast of WW alloy was right on at about 30yds or so at the same sight setting and with the cutoff feature made it practical for small game encountered while deer hunting.
