Title: Re: Gonna try a new load

I shot a couple Vintage Matches today with my Krag and the new Lithgow SMLE (results for the SMLE covered in the Other Firearms topic).  For my Krag, I tried those Hornady 178 Grain A-Max bullets that I loaded up earlier this year (load data is the subject of this thread).   The results were encouraging.  Although my score wasn't my best - 246-1X (Off Hand sucked as usual), there were signs that it may be improved.  Feed in the Rapid was good, and although tight, they worked through the chargers just fine.  I think I'm going to order another hundred of the 178s and this time, using Para's data, load them with H4895 for a more complete burn!
