Getting ready to take my hi-wall to the range when I get back from the boat next time.
I've neck sized the cases from the 1st firing, de-burred the flash holes, tumbled twice( before & after sizing), cci 200 primers, all weighed charges, lee 185s lubed twice sized to .309, & seated to engrave the rifleings.
The barrel slugs .301/.307 & is clean. I didn't weight sort the boolits, but my mold drops a grain different at the most. and the brass is from the same lot.
Loaded 20 at 16 grs 2400, 15 at 17 grs, & 15 at 18 grs. Looking for a consistent load & good grouping. I just put a lee shaver front globe on & am still learning how to use this type site. It has a marbles rear tang.
This is the 30-40 krag I got from recently from a forum member. Any thoughs or advice will be a big help.
This one still turns heads at the range I go to.
BTW going to take the o3a3 also, I want to see if they are as much fun as ya'll say.
