Title: ERROR IN LYMAN 50th RELOADING MANUAL FOR KRAG
Post by Mike4MSU on Mar 25th, 2020 at 1:19am
I’ve contacted and alerted Lyman as to a potential catastrophic overcharge in their manual for 30-40 Krag and 180gr bullets

In looking through my manual for a fellow member, I found an error where Lyman recommends a starting point of 38gr with a max of 42gr of IMR4895 for 180gr bullets. Hodgdon website lists a max of 35.5gr for a 180gr bullet. I’m not a fan of IMR4895 for the Krag, but wanted to post this information to warn others. I’ve taken screen shots of both the manual and Hodgdon website, but was reluctant to post in case someone saved or printed the image without the warning.
