40 x 2.3 aka 40 Krag

[Cactus Farmer]

Anyone playing with 40 x 2.3"? I''m about through with the Farrow action,barrel is make and lapped and the reamer is laying quietly in the wooden storage box. I know 40's are rat guns,heck I shoot a hummingbird gun now(38-55). A Farrow won't take a rim as big as 45 x 2.1 so Krag is the option. Just wanted a little more lead going down range......

Anything I can help with, ask. but use specifics.

I always wanted to have a Krag rebarreled to .444 Marlin. De Haas says it's an easy conversion.

.............You mean the 44-2.2, 44-63 or maybe better yet, the 10.8x56R ? :-)
