Re: Light loads

I also use Unique, 10 grains. Some folks are afraid of detention with such a load. Although I've not had a problem, you could, so Trail Boss will be a good fix.give it a try.

Re: Krag Accuracy and Bullet Drift "back in the day"

So if the radius of the shot group is 1.2", is that not what we would call a 2.4" group? That matches my experience 2.5-3" groups at 100 yards.

How does the rifle drifting LEFT match your experience? Anyone have an explanation as to how a rifle with right hand twist could drift left?

What do you mean there's nothing special about it? It was your Dad's! Now it's yours to care for, for your Son. You'll find it handy, sweet shooting and plenty powerful for most game. Enjoy.

Re: Building a sported and need a barrel band

The part I need, needs to wrap around the barrel, then screw into the fore stock. This used to be quite common. Is not done much anymore. Guess I'll have to make one. Thanks,
