30-40 Krag

I made it to the range today and made headway on my dilemma. I safely made it to 2125fps with IMR4831, 2110fps with western big game, and 2050fps with accurate 4350. No pressure signs at all, with any of them. My goal was to be over 2100fps so that I would have an impact velocity of 2000fps at 100yds, for the bullet to work properly. I won’t be shooting over 100yds with open sights and these old eyes. IMR4831 was the most accurate of the bunch, so I’m going to stick with it.

Now I need to shoot something with it to see how it does.
