I was shooting long range, well, mid-range( with the Krag, not the '95), long before the recent round of mid range shooting became popular. I had very good results with the 200 gr Sierra Matchking and 42 gr of 4895. Books all say 4350 is the accuracy powder, but I found 4895 to be the clear winner, 4064 close behind, 4350 gave vertical stringing. Shot pretty close to the sights (Buffington rear, '03 Spfld front) out to 500 yds, but then the 200 Sierra was flatter than the Buffington graduations. I'd hate to have to repeat it, but slinged, prone, I once shot a ten shot group of 15.7 inches at 800 yds on a still cold snowy morning. I don't see the .30-40 as any handicap in the field in any hunting situation.
