Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Ruger #3 Krag Data

Greetings folks,

Just wondering if any of you kind fellas have any of the published reloading data for the Ruger #3 in Krag?

If you do, could you scan it or take a photo of it and email it to me?(heck you could even text me the pics)

PM me for email address or cell number

Thanks in advance!!!!

Lyman #47 and Hodgdon #26 off the top o the head. I also posted some stuff here. Some articles from Hagel, MD, and another guy floating out there.

and some stuff here.

Others things come to mind;

-I don't attach "Krag" to 30-40 ammo reloaded in a Ruger#3. I just call it 30-40. Just my preference.

-Use fire formed brass for load work ups if your going to push it.

-The butt plate can get annoying after while.

-Hagel's data is insane IMO. see below




My favorite load (Not for Springfield Krag)

150gr Sierra BT
Big Game
49.3gr
3.08 OAL
CCI200 Primer
RP Case
2720ft/sec avg

The 165gr Sierra BT and Big Game are looking good to.

You guys are awesome!!!!

Just be careful
