Does anyone know of a web site with information on a 30-40 krag 1898.

P.S.

The second one is a pretty interesting read...I think Guns-N-Ammo did a pretty good job...IMHO

I can do the Krag Jorgensen. I've had this Krag since I was 18 and that was 32 years ago. They are wonderfully made rifles with workmanship that truely astounds. It'd cost a fortune to manufacture in 2007 dollars. It's a rifle that's a lot of fun to use. I've taken several deer and a blackbuck over the years with this Krag. I've also taken it to a local high-power match on a couple of occasions just to try out the magazine system on the rapid-fire stages. Reloading is a snap and there was ample time to get off ten aimed shots in the alloted time. I felt rushed and awkward but all scored. If a shooter got used to the rifle then rapid-fire groups would shrink. I came in third in "service rifle" at one match using the Krag.

The Sierra 220 grain round nose bullet and a moderate charge of IMR 4895 works well in the rifle.
