    I always wondered if one of the guys on the Krag cartridge design team was a cast boolit shooter as it looks like it was made for it.

    Photos of my two Grand ladies, the bottom one is a Norwegian in 6.5X55 and I start on it next week with my new mold from NOE and sizer die from LatheSmith.

    I went out and worked up an alternate load using 4227 and is compared to my 2400 load as that powder has spotty availability.
    Powder 2400 4227
