'RichWIS' deserves credit for offering the insight into the 'bevel' on .30-40 brass, earlier in this thread.

(We get so close to it, we take the 'bevel' for granted. It never entered my mind that Hornady Brass might be different).


'GunGrunt' - You could easily sell some of your 'stepped' (USMC style) Krag blades, on the KCA Forum.


Paul - You are starting to sound like Rudyard Kipling:

"When 'arf of your bullets fly wide of the ditch,
        Don't call your Martini (Krag-Jorgensen) a Cross-Eyed Old Bitch.
She's as human as you are ... just treat her as such,
         and she'll fight for the young British Soldier (Yankee Soldier)".

Ours is not to reason why... Ours is but to shoot and cry!  And into the Ranges of Camp Perry... rode the Krag Roosevelt shooters!

When I see the Hornady reps at Perry this year, I may make mention of this (I've discussed a few things with them over the last few years, and they're always receptive to what I've had to say).  It might just be that they didn't know of the importance of the bevel.  As you said, it's something we've just taken for granted!

Did you get a chance to talk to the Hornady reps at Camp Perry?  I saw this too late or I would have asked you to add 303 British to the inquiry.  Smiley

Howdy Newt!

No, unfortunately, the Hornady reps had left after the first week. They still had all of their stuff there for sale, but the shop was being tended by a sales person.  When I get a moment to breath this winter (LOL)… I'll try to contact them.
