Re: .30-40 Krag 1901 Sight Issue

<br />A grateful 'Thank You' to everyone who replied to my posting regarding my model 1999 Krag carbine shooting 2' high at 50 yds. Each reply made me feel welcome to the forum.<br />Obviously, my powder choice of IMR 4198 was "way off the mark". I have since loaded a dozen rounds each of ...
