I decided that today would be a good day to start reloading for my Krag. The bolt looks good and the bore is great. My problem is the different load data listed in different books.
For my first try I am using Nosler Ballistic Tip 180gr .308 Spitzer over IMR 4064. I have about 10 or 11 lbs of IMR 4064.
Hornady 7th Ed lists for 178-180gr start at 32.6gr to max 37.4gr
Lee 180gr Jacketed 36.1 start to 41.0gr max
Lyman 45th to 50th Ed 38.0 start to 42.0 max. the 47th to 50th ED say "not for KRAG" but for single shot Rugers. The 45th and 46th Ed say to have the bolt inspected by a gunsmith.
I loaded my first one with the Lee data since it was listed in the instructions with the dies.
What sort of opinions do you all have on the differences with the load data.
Thank you
