    Krag carbine range report

    I went to the range today messing around with 2 loads at the 25yard bench and both loads pretty much took the center of the bullseye out with a 6 O'clock hold,so I took 5 rnds to the 100yard because it was getting a bit dim out,and here are my results...

    Here are My 100 yrd groups;

    Group A: 150 grn Hornady FMJBT,38grs IMR 4064,Primer WLR,Cases were resized .303 british HXP,C.O.L.=3.09"
    2 shots= 2.07"group @ outside edges, hit high

    Group B: 150 grn Sierra PSP,38.7 grns IMR 4064,Primer=WLR,cases were resized .303 British HXP,C.O.L.=3.07"
    3 shot group=2.17" @ outside edges, high and right hit
    I like this old gal!

    I have had great results from using these .310 size bullets, https://www.wideners.com/itemdetail....1079|1109|1594
    Flat base makes a great seal on that old bore.
