Title: 168gn Sierra HTBT Krag Carbine loads
Post by Galvinator77 on Apr 16th, 2020 at 3:16pm
Want to try 168gn Sierra HTBT Matchkings in my Carbine. Looking for load recommendations from folks who have shot them.  I realize this has probably been asked already. If so please point me in the right direction w/ a thread title or date and I will go through the archived pages to find it. I have 4895, 4064, Varget, MR-2000 and Reloader 15 powder available. I tried 147gn M80 Ball bullets w/ 39 gn of 4064. It didn't like that load. Probably more due to the bullet than the powder.





  My carbine is one that has been talked about in the Military page. I removed the rubber recoil pad and spliced a section of donor stock back to the correct length so I could reinstall the standard butt plate. Still looking for another donor as the bottom of the butt plate sticks below the stock.

Thanks,
Airborne,
Mark
