Mission Accomplished

[Squaregrouper]

I just finished what I set out to do roughly five years ago, but was afraid to start reloading on my own...
I loaded my first .30 Army cartridge! To the purist, it is the correct load for The Springfield Krag Rifle: A .30 caliber, 220 grain round nose bullet with 40 grains of powder. Thus the current name .30-40 Krag.
I used IMR 4350, Sierra Pro Hunters and Federal Lg Rifle Primers.

This is XXX Krag porn for me, as I have never fired "the correct load" for these firearms. Guess who is going to Hap Baker in the morning...

Good luck! Pictures would be nice, too.

congrats! I also recently fired my first reloads as well. I felt very accomplished!

Awesome! Always fun to reload that special load.

Great sense of accomplishment when you finally get to shoot you own reloads. Congrat

Good job! May your next batch be less than 5 years!

I don't believe that will be a problem. Reloading tends to be habit forming

I can quit any time I want.

I loaded up 1500 rounds of 9mm two days before Christmas. Now on to .45 ACP.
