	Glad he was kidding, otherwise his buddy should stand at the top of the stairs over the embankment on Viale and wave to all us Krag shooters.

I'm having a challenge getting it to print consistently at 200 yards. Part of it is my lack of familiarity with the ladder sight. I got a 1903 Springfield ladder sight micrometer and next time out I'll get it figured out. But for now my groups are staying well within the 9 ring and hovering close to 10 ring in size. They are getting more consistent with less vertical stringing and far fewer uncalled flyers. Making progress but it's slow. I still have not tried the magnum primers yet but will next month. There just is a wealth of difference between 100 and 200 yards. What works at 100 just doesn't always transfer well to further out. The journey continues.

	Maybe some 'tutoring' is in order?

By then I'll have tested the new loads and tried out the micrometer to change sight settings. If all goes well, great! If not, time to reach out to the experts. I have to say however, that even with the slow progress I get more enjoyment out of the Krag than any other rifle I own, and I have a very nice collection.

	I have to admit I was excited at the first post, then really liked the photos. Then it turned. Once i got back from getting sick, caught the gag, ate some blood pressure meds, it got better. Whew!!
