I'm sorry I didn't mention the weight of the bullet, it is a 380 gr. All I have is black powder in 3f. I have shot these before but many years ago and don't remember the load.

With that in mind I will lower the loads in the rest to 32 gr and see how it goes. I do have a 180gr mold that looks promising I will try that next.
Forum: Military Rifles
I decided that today would be a good day to start reloading for my Krag. The bolt looks good and the bore is great. My problem is the different load data listed in different books.
