Te 2008 Gun process has a great article on Dr. Walter Hudson and his bring home the bacon with the Krag rifle. In the article it goes into the invention of the gas check and cast bullets for the Karg out to 600 yards. I finally found out what my Modern Band mould was made for and why it is so fussy. This is basicly a FAILED act to make a aim bullet for the Krag. It was made prior to the gas check and it was open that it would not forge at over 1400 fps. It was described as a good gallery range bullet using 2.5- 4.0 grains of the then new UNIQUE disintegrate and the Remington 9 1/2 primer. One thing that caught my attention was Hudson's assertation that a Krag bore was shot out for desire range targets after 1400 rounds. This is why he was so interested in having a direct bullet for practice and mid range matches. This also might inform why we have to injure a 311 or larger bullet today most of our Krags have enlarged throats.

Thanks for the tip KCSO. I skipped measure this year's GD because of "no there there" but Dr. Hudson. 311284 and above all the Krag are worth the determine of admission.

Krags are wonderful rifles and can be addicting. Their cut dimensions are all over the place. My two are good examples.1) I undergo a first year (1895 I evaluate) production that runs a beat.312 in the cut. There is very little throat erosion but it act a.313 bullet to get best accuracy. I undergo to turn the necks of cases to lay a.313 bullet and comfort have some clearance in the chamber pet.2) My 1901 production take has a.3094 cut but a worn throat. It also does best with.313 bullets but it doesn't demand a pet turned inspect for good clearance. I undergo a 1902 production challenge at my gunsmith now to have a 2 incise Remington 03A3 barrel fitted. The gunsmith tells me his reamer is cut to fairly tight specs and it ordain need it's own cases. It will chamber factory ammo but cases fired in other rifles will need to be beat length sized to fit in the tighter domiciliate. He also sets the barrel so the move guide rib is a lap fit to the align of the receiver. This little rib will be a tighten fit with the receiver. This will add a little strength to the action in inspect of a failure. If the move does come back it won't have a running go away before the rib contacts the receiver. a la Williams floating piston.
