Re: Norwegian Krag safe with PRVI Partisan SPBT?

Re: KRAG BRASS

I will be interested to hear how others who get this brass find it compares to the Winchester and Remington that we have had for a long time.

Re: KRAG BRASS

Since you ask for comments, I have to say this perhaps shows a misunderstanding of case-stretch dynamics. In brief, unless the shoulder is far enough forward to hold the base of the cartridge firmly against the bolt face, shoulder position is immaterial to stretch with a <strong>rimmed</strong> cart...

Re: KRAG BRASS

<blockquote>Hopefully that extra weight equals a nice sturdy case that will take many reloads!</blockquote><br /><br /><br />Yes. I was thinking that too. In theory, The fact that since it is just brass for reloading and not manufactured ammo they seem to be made a bit tight in the Wilson case gauge...

Re: Group buy of .30-40 brass by the forum members

I got my shipping confirm the other day so I know I got mine. If they did this run maybe they will do another. Now that they see people really do want the stuff. Maybe they wanted to see how it went and what the feedback would be?
It sold out in less than a week. Now lets see what it is like.
