[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 2568080, member: 16869"] Fyi - If you are loading for the original bolt action they were meant to use a 220 gr. round nose bullet. The left front of the magazine is designed to cam the bullet nose up and into the chamber. Most of the factory ammunition I've come across are spire points. While you can use spire point bullets the exposed lead tip of that style will suffer as it feeds into the chamber. Also, the markings on the original ladder rear sight are calibrated for the 220 gr. RN military load. I still have my Dad's Krag he hunted with for decades. [/QUOTE]
