<r>I set up my chrony today and this is what happened. I have never used it very much so I will leave it to the experts here to tell me if I'm doing this right. The 125gr was faster than the 170gr which I figured would be the case. The 125 gr are Meister bullets so are very nice but the 170gr are wh...

<r>I've been shooting my steel lately with my NRA? Krag but this morning I put some holes in paper. Still using 9.7 gr of Tin Star with 125 and 115 gr lead bullets. This is what 12 rds did. The first was the flier. Not too bad. I will warn the forum though that this powder is very dense and you can ...

<r>For some reason I can't post but one picture at a time.

<r>My PC Krag stock needs some work. This is what I found when I removed the upper band. Pieces. The band was holding it all together. I've got a piece of old stock wood that I can use to repair the forend. But how do I repair the break that's starting behind the action? Thanks.<IMG src="https://kra...

I just bought a pair of swivels from grandpas gun parts. Look good on my old Krag. I've bought a bunch of stuff via eBay over the years with only a few rip offs. Gotta do your homework before you buy not after you open the box. I do check if the seller has a return policy but I've had a few issues w...

I'm just trying to find a easy shooting lead bullet load that won't damage my steel targets. Not a hunting load or a 200 yd target load. Years ago, I somewhere picked up a can of Trailboss but didn't use it and when I read about using it in a .30 cal rifle i tried it. I picked up the can of tin star...

<r>It's new to me too. According to this chart, Red Dot-Trailboss-Clay Dot then N320/ Tin Star, which is slightly different than N320. I don't know if the chart will work as a screen shot.<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/image.png"><s>[img]</s><...

<r>I couldn't find any Trailboss for my Krag at the gunshow Saturday but got talked into a can of Tin Star. I wasn't really impressed with TB as I went through a can in no time. I am very impressed with Tin Star. The big group is 2 different style 170 gr lead gc bullets and 125 gr lead RN bullets. T...

I don't know why the photo uploaded weird but l peened the ejector on the short end to make it taller by .010 and slightly bent the long end. I made a pin out of drill rod that is long enough to go into the hole in the sideplate. I also filed a recess in the pin so I can remove it when I get the rea...

<r>After 30 whacks with a plastic mallet it moved enough for me to get it out. The pin is .095, the hole in the ejector is .099, the recvr hole is .0955. Guess I need some parts. Here's a pix of the ejector and pin. Thanks butlersrangers.<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/ima...
