I prepped 30, .30-40 Krag Hornady cases for my recently acquired Model 1898 Krag carbine which was manufactured in 1900. It's in excellent condition with a shiny bore & prominent rifling. The wood has no dings and only a couple surface scratches. I am shooting both 180 gr and 220 gr Hornady Interlock bullets above moderately slow powders. I will continue to test recipes that will be most comfortable for the "Old Girl". If I can ever find an 1873 Trapdoor Springfield Carbine, I will have the complete line of U.S. standard issue military rifles from 1873 up through 1965. It would be fairly easy to acquire an M16 rifle, but years ago I swore to myself I would never own an assault rifle.

Today I purchased a Lee carbide 3 die set. And used the sizing die to decap 200 .45 Colt cases.

Finished loading 300 rds of .223 . Brought my son over 90 of them, since he supplies me with a lot of once fired brass. Hey! It beats working. Lol.

Using the newly reformed 25-20 brass I prepared 20 ea of two loads I have chronograph data on, just to see if there a difference.
My plan right now is to see how well a 1140fps 86gr MBC cast bullet knocks down targets.
And settings for 1450fps and the same 86g bullet.
