Highest Krag score was 262-4, shot by William Fairless, a fellow out of IL. Fairless was #157 of 441 competitors, putting a Krag in the top 35%. There were a few slots above that score that didn't have the rifle listed which could have been Krags, but we can still award Mr. Fairless the so far fictional Mook Cup, whether he wants it or not. I shot a dismal 228-1. The 2200fps reduced load using the Nosler 168s was super at 100yd, but they go through a mach 2 barrier before getting to the 200yd target. Long range shooters have noted some instability in the 168s through that transition. That may have played a bit of role, but having worm-eaten eyes is the biggest problem.

The important thing is you shot the match and I hope you had fun doing it.

Ok... lets see if this works. Here's a video of me shooting my 1898 in the Rapid: https://youtu.be/Ifv4mo94E6w
I reposted the video in the hopes that it will now play properly.

It's saying the video is private, just look at Paul's facebook page to view.

coupla years ago Lee McKinney took 3rd overall with his Krag and 168 grain bullets but I think they were Sierras. It was my wonderful good fortune to have been squaded with him and I'll never forget it.

I remember Lee taking third that year.
I shoot sometimes in a local match in Kalamazoo with Dan McSorley, and he shot a 294-6X with his Krag in back to back matches to win both! Great guy, and very helpful too.
