Krag Collectors Association Forum

Welcome to the forum RBW! Always good to ask questions! I shoot my 1898 Krag several times a year in rifle matches... including the National Vintage Rifle Match at Camp Perry (I'll be shooting it again this year as usual).

Ahhh Haaaa... these will not be going into the Garand. These are for the 1903A3 only! I have my Garand ammo already loaded. Interestingly enough, my Garand doesn't do well with the A-Max bullets, so for the Garand, I load a Nosler 168 gr HPBT Match bullet over 44.0 grains of H or IMR 4895, with the ...

I'm going to do a few test firings just to be sure... but I know the rifle will handle it well considering how hot I made my rounds for the 1000 yard match back in 2019.

Where is this Chuck?
