Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 30/40 Krag

I wanted to thank everybody for their help with this. Especially 10at6 for the BT recommendation and shrap for selling it to me.

I ended up crawling through the snow and getting within 150-175yds of this small buck. He was bedded and I put the first one right through his heart. Worked the bolt and had another one chambered when I saw him getting real sick but still on his feet. I held and let another fly and that was it. Double lunged him and he piled up.



Those 220's make one helluva WHOMP when they hit home. Holy cow.



Not much left of the BT on the offside shoulder. Broke holy hell out of everything in its path though. Other one exited.



These were going right around 1,900fps. 34gr's of IMR 4064.

Thanks again,
Travis
