<r>Ok Ed, I've resized your pictures for you... Here's the pictures of your Krag:<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/30-40_Krag_aa1.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/30-40_Krag_...

<blockquote>Ihave always used the assumption that the powder that fills the case the most the better.</blockquote><br /><br />This may or may not be true, but shake a factory Remington or Winchester round (both are 180 grain soft points) and you'll hear loose powder which means that the cases are no...

<blockquote>Get or borrow several different manuals. Older manuals may have more data on loads for the Krag rifle than newer manuals.
