Title: Load Suggestions
Post by 7th1st on May 25th, 2020 at 5:01pm
I am just getting started on reloading for my 1898 Krag rifle.  The  220 RN with 40 gr of IMR 4350 went fine.  I have some other bullets at my disposal and was wondering what some of your favorite loads are.  I think next I'll use the Hornady 178 gr BTHP Match.  Powders at my disposal are IMR 4350, IMR 4895, IMR 4064, VIHT N-160, and VIHT N-150.  I also have the 168gr Hornady Match (which was recently covered in another post...another post I saw had 41.3 gr IMR4350 which looked good) and the 155 gr Hornady ELD. I have the latest Hornady reloading manual. 

Is IMR 4350 generally the favored powder?  Any other favorite loads...especially for the 178 gr?  I've been scouring the forum so let me know if I missed something.
