Thanks, Joe. Yeah, good old Lyman/Ideal 311284 is my go-to favorite in a Krag, but there are others too. A long nosed old NEI Walt Melander-era 220 grainer is right up there also. I've hunted with soft (10-12bhn) 311284's and they kill ok, but I've always wanted a hollow point version for that work. Thinking hard about sending one my three molds of that persuasion out to be hollowpointed.
When I shoot jacketed in .30-40 I'm predisposed to either Sierra or Hornady 180 grain RN's. Can't tell much difference in accuracy. One thing I have encountered in Krags over the years is they tend to favor RN's over spitzers, at least in my experience. Having the correct magazine cutoffs installed is pretty important in regard to feeding - there are subtle differences in them as the Krag went through its design changes.
