So far the H380 worked for me, at least for jacketed bullets. I like how it doesn’t stick to everything like flake powder does, although it is a bit bouncy.

I liked 4227 for cast bullets, but I’m...

Another update. Took the .303-.30/40 Krag ammo to the range. Here’s a picture of it, sandwiched between a piece of .303 brass (left) and a piece of .30-40 brass (right). As you can tell it’s a little...

Hello friends,

An update: I read that I can fireform from .303 brass, so to acquire more brass for my Krag I purchased this .303 brass processor and a couple boxes of PPU.

Hello friends,

Happy New Year! Thank you for all the advice.

I haven’t had a chance to load up any more rounds. In December I fired off 20 rounds (220gr RN, 20.8 gr IMR 4227), and had 3...

Hello friends,

An update! And I think I’ve answered my own question re: undersized bullets.

WRideout kindly sent me some of his cast boolits in the mail, sized .311 and .313” (thank you!).

MidwayUSA is having a sale on factory second bullets. I know lead should be oversized, but would .308” jacketed bullets work in a .309” bore? Something like the following: Factory Second Match...

Thank you for the kind offer, Wayne!

I don’t see any stamps on the stock, although it is a handsome piece of wood (walnut)? The recoil absorber is Red Head, who knows how old.

I slugged the...

Just gave the bore a good cleaning. It doesn’t look as pristine as I imagined when I purchased it, as it has some pitting near the muzzle, but the bore is otherwise bright and the rifling sharp...

Hello friends,

I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving.

As promised, pictures!

I’ve ordered a Lee case trimming tool and accessories, an LE Wilson chamfer and...

Good question, I should have described it better earlier. It began life in 1903 as a Springfield M1898 Krag rifle.

I find it surprising that there’s so much variation in bore size for these...

Thanks all, for the advice and warm welcome!

Reloading .32 Long I found pretty easy; this is a bit more challenging (but hopefully eventually more rewarding). Sounds like I should:
1. Give the...

Hello friends,

I’m new to reloading, having started this fall. I began with .32 S&W long, and once I got the hang of that I decided to try .30-40 Krag. However, I’ve had some issues, and could use...
