Yep, that's them.<br /><br />I'll play with them a bit but I won't be looking for more anytime soon!<br /><br />I'm going to start casting and Hi-Tek coating 55gn .22 pills for .223 soon. Maybe I'll pick up a spitzer mold in .309 as well. I had a .311 round nose mold for .303 brit but I sold it with...

Jut in case anybody cares:<br /><br />I hit the range with the test loads yesterday. They functioned fine, even felt a little underpowered. The accuracy was less than stellar. At 100 yards, I got no discernible group with them. I fired 10 rounds of Core-Lokt factory ammo and got a nice group so ther...

Has anyone used H335 for their Krag?<br /><br />I found several online data sheets for the 30-40 that listed H335 loads. None of my hard copy manuals list it as a viable option. <br /><br />Most of the data I found start at 30-33 gn for the 180-200 gn spitzer jacketed bullets.<br /><br />I loaded 10...

The front sight on the rifle has a bead at the apex so I doubt it's been filed down. Then again, I'm a complete tyro with the Krags so what do I know? :)<br /><br />According to your pic, the top wood on this stick is the 1898/1902 R&C<br /><br />Thanks for the help. I'm not going to worry if I ...
