I've got one.. an 1898 Cavalry Carbine... sporterized in the 50s....
My load is 30 grains of 4198... with a 180 grain RN, or occasionally a 170 grain FN....
I treat the case like a big brother to the 30/30....
off season, I shoot 168 grain MatchKings in it, with the 30 grains of 4198 load...
Mine's pretty darn accurate consider the age of the rifle... and barrel...
I love the Nostalgic feeling I get when I shoot or hunt with it...
