30-40 Krag CB load experts ... Help?
Okay, so some years back, I inherited my Grandfather's 'custom' 30-40 Krag rifle.
It came to me through a late uncle on my Dad's side. All in that family were hunters and competitive shooters, and this Krag is in excellent shape for it's probable age.
I want to shoot 200gn or 220gn coated CBs through it (whether RN or FN, maybe .309 dia). I want load to modest velocities (i.e., 1900fps-2100fps).
I'd prefer coated boolits in the above weights to eliminate or reduce leading. Can anyone recommend a source for such boolits?
Also helpful would be your powder & load recommendations for these 200gn/220gn boolits.
I see Unique is a popular go-to for CB loads in the old Krags.
Thanks in advance!
