While I have not owned a .30-40 Krag for many years I do shoot lots of cast bullets in my .35 Whelen. When I was doing load development with cast bullets I tried both RN & FP bullets, both shot equally well. For whatever reason I have settled on the FN nose bullet, for a hunting load in the Krag I would concur with Gnoahh's advice.
