i have a few rifles that need to built, but in a couple of years..........what krag cartridge do i want?
i have two 1898 springfield armory(1898 and 1903) actions and the first one will be a 22 hornet. the second one makes my head spin. i have a 30-40 krag already, so thats out of the running. this is the part that makes my head spin, do i want 25 krag, 6.5 krag, 277 krag, 284 krag, 8 krag, 338 krag, 35 krag, 36 krag, 375 krag or the 40 krag?
i'm kinda into 25 krag, but my 93 mauser action will be a 257 roberts. the 6.5 krag is second on my list. i have a ruger no1 in 270 win so i guess the 277 krag is out. i can't count how many 284 or 7mm i have. the 8mm krag is interesting, but i have 8x57mm. the 338 krag will be foray into the 338 caliber. the 35 krag, which is tied with 25 krag, but i have a 35/30-30. 36 krag while interesting, i have a 9.3x57. the 375 krag my mind goes ehh as well as the 40 krag.
i guess i am thinking of the 25, 6.5 or 35 krag, but my mind is not made up!!! ackley improved versions will be considered too.
