    30-40 Krag ammo

    Found some 30-40 for sale for what I though was a good price. $29.99 a box or $28.49 ea. for 10 boxes at Able's. It was HSM ammo, I called HSM and they say they use new brass. It was selling for less than brass on GunBroker. The guy at Able's said I was the second call about 30-40 today and he has never received a call for it before. Has about 25 left I guess.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I could not find any 'reasonably priced' ammo, and NO ammo to duplicate issue load on line. I finally found a note on the Graf's website to put a request for .30-40 Kragicon on a 'wish list' when their stock of .30-40 brass was re-stocked.

    About a month and I took possession of 100 pieces of brass. I'm waiting for good weather to test it. (Bullets and such are the same as for any other .30 caliber rifle, other than I can't find 220 grain FMJ.)

    I can't even find Hornady's old 220 SP to use. We have a man local that swages his own and can do this to order...

    I have trouble with the hunting (hydro-shock) or whatever they are called....ole Remington ammo....it is a little picky to feed.

    I have not started to reload for this gun yet, but did pick up a set of dies from Cabelas in the bargain cave for $10 a few years ago....you have to grab that odd duck stuff when you can find it.

    I've found that the Hornady round nose 180gr perform very nicely. Have loaded it in several Krags. Also, their 150gr. RN. Only tried the 150gr. in one rifle, but was pleasantly surprised. Fed perfectly and shot great at 200 yds.
