30-40 Krag load data

I Have the latest Hornady book, Loads listed for VV N-160 and 165 or 168 bullets:

Starting grains 41.1 Max 47.7

176-180 gr bullets:

Starting grains: 39.5 Max : 44.1

I would start low and probably never reach max if you are shooting a Krag Jorgensen Rifle, They only have one locking lug and are prone to cracking, I have an SMLE I built in 30-40 Krag and a Martini so I would not have a problem with max loads. Be Careful!
