I've used RL19 quite a bit, there used to be some data on the Swiss Rifles website. There was a section of Krag loads useful for the 1889 Swiss rifle, a few with RL19. RL19 will get up to pressure with a 150gr bullet, 4831 will not do that without some major compression. It is very much like 4350 in...

Yea, a gun magazine reader that wanted as much protection from the gases as the Mauser or Arisaka rifles he had read about. Might have been a fellow caught a bit of gas blast at one time and didn't want anymore, but didn't wish to stop shooting either.

I'd steel wool clean a few, fire them, then reinspect. Then they can become the first ones you use up.

I'm talking about US Krags, using the KragHaus mount, I don't think the Norwegian barrels are tapered the same. I found the inexpensive LER scopes on ebay to work better than what one might think, and they've gotten better since the ones I purchased long ago. Eye relief is about right on them, the o...

I have a bolt with a Rice peep that I sometimes used back when I could still see a front sight! I shot quit a bit with it before I scoped that 92/96 sporter. I keep it around in case something goes wrong with the scope. I think I have a new Rice somewhere too. A possible future range experiment for ...

As mentioned bullets for the 30-30 tend to be smallish, .307. I just pulled a bunch of 170grRN out of some old 30 Remington cases and they were all .307". The samples came from several different years of production. Also, PRVI makes a very tapered 168gr match bullet. It doesn't get up to .308 u...

I won't be there. The only rifle I can still hold up through standing is the AR. I have the Garand shooting less that 1moa, but I skipped the state championship match last weekend cause I know I'd be beyond done if I managed to hold the 13lb bugger up through the 20 standing shots. The standing posi...

I went out shooting again today and at 300 yards I had to hold about 2 feet under on the 100 yard setting. Surely something is out of wack. From the front of the wood there is gap under the barrel, but the barrel is supported on the sides. Really not sure where to start with this one. Other than a ...

"Dumbass powder companies". I been trying for years to get Austin Powder to start up a nitrocellulose production line at their nearby industrial explosives plant. We have lots of sawdust, that's about the only natural resource left in the area.
