Krag carbine range report

[Prince Humperdink]

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 have had great results from using these .310 size bullets, https://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=100001398&dir=278|281|1079|1109|1594
Flat base makes a great seal on that old bore.

Humpi,
I love your home made target.....I use the round cardboard that comes under frozen pizza's. Just use a black sharpie or an orange stick on for a bull and you are good to go!
