97 Slow prone, 86 rapid, group was centered on 9/8 line. Horrid 74 offhand, shot 2 5's.

Paul, like I said I'm planning to be there by 530am. Just driving form home. I'll be the guy wearing sandals, with M Go Blue on the scope cover on a Creedmore cart, and probably wearing Michigan...

Standard primer 40gr IMR-4350 with a 220, I then went to 43.5 with a 175gr, load currently I think is around 46gr with a 125gr TNT, excellent for the games matches. You don't need to run magnum...

Jerry, not sure about the first question. I've shot the rifle and haven't had any issues. As far as contacting Bobby I call either early morning, lunch, or later in the day and I can get a hold of...

Nope don't see a line on the barrel on the rifle or the other barrel he did. I checked the barrels on the 3 muskets (16, 55, and 63) and I don't see anything either.

Paul I should be there by then.

If you are only shooting short distances, 300 or under try the 125gr Speer TNT's, the Sierra 135gr SMKs, or the Nosler 140gr CC. A LOT less recoil and shoot very nicely.

Yep exactly, only thing closer is my 223 Palma rifle I built for Mid Range, that literally shoots like my small bore rifle, just with noise.

I am shooting the 125gr Speer TNT. Aside from the 223 ARs I run light bullets in all the rifles for the 200yd line. Especially in the .30's a lighter bullet really pays off in maintaining a good...

Hi Paul,

Yes I purchased a couple chargers from you a year or so ago. I'm a High Master in Long Range and Mid Range prone, one more match and I'll be there in Fullbore also. Last match if I...

Thank you that is what I was wondering. Now I need to see if I have the regular 4 notch or the fine notch sight. However seeing that makes me wish I kept the short blade in the front instead of the...

No with the tall blade the elevation is about a notch or two below 500 with the 125s. The 175gr load is printing about 2-2.5 MOA higher. Main reason is I'm thinking about shooting it in a full...

Yeah I remember reading that the markings were 4 mills on the 1903 sight. Just wondering what the serrations or "clicks" on the 1902 rear sight are elevation wise. The rifle is zero'd for 200 yds...

Are the notches on the 1902 rear sight calibrated to MOA?

No the stock was from Dunlap Wood Crafters. It requires some fitting and there is the block in the middile that you have to remove and I had to enlarge the grasping grooves but it wasn't that hard...

I'm driving up that morning and driving back after. Living only 2.5 hours away has its perks. For NRA week we stay in the condo's north of the retractable bridge in Port Clinton.

I just checked I'm 03 in the AM and Vintage in the PM. So I believe if I did it correctly I swapped it so I'm shooting vintage in the AM now. Will be a fun time before NRA MR and LR

Paul,

I can't remember if I'm shooting 03 in the morning and Vintage in the PM or vice versa. I'll have to check.

Actually only receivers were chromed. The barreled weren't which I thought was strange. There is a local place that dipped them and removed the chrome off the receivers. Rest of the parts were...

StockDoc not sure what you are referring to at 50k psi. 40k psi is all the higher you want to go, I think my 125gr load is around 30-32k according to quickload. The 175 load is around 36k. 50k...

Hi Mark,

Not sure on the groove diameter. Only before photo I have is after I had polished all the metal parts out in the white

The receivers were chromed when I got them from the CMP and rest...

I enjoy doing it, if anyone would like their Krag restored I'd be open to doing it.

I sent it to Bobby Hoyt (1-717-642-6696) he is known for doing a lot of musket barrels, hes cut and stretched my M16, M55, and M63 barrels. The lining is hammer forged and comes out of KY shoots...

Well all I got from the CMP was the barreled receiver.

Good idea. I've restored my entire Krag collection and Trapdoor collection. This one had the barrel relined and going to shoot it this year at Perry.
