the 22" barrel (sporterized) with open sights will go about 100-125 yards. 1800-1900fps ought to take the deer off its feet.
what kind of krag do you use? :)
do you hunt?

Re: do you hunt?
I used to hunt with my 1898 sporter using factory Remington 180 grain SP loads. I no longer hunt, so I use that sporter shooting cast in Cast Boolit competitions. My loads are an NOE 311365 at 185 gr over 19.0 grains of Accurate 5744.
I shoot my 1898 full military Krag in CMP competitions every month, including the Nationals at Camp Perry. My competition load is a Hornady or Sierra 220 gr RN jacketed over 40.0 grains of IMR 4350 and a CCI 250 Magnum primer... which is about as close as you can get to the original .30 US load.
