[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1323500"] I don't have any data for the 25 krag anymore, it was a cartridge my dad had in a Krag rifle in his youth and he talked about it, but I really don't remember much. The magazine length is maxed out at just above 3 inch, the action is actually .250 shorter than a standard M98 Mauser, if you want to play with the original 8x52R Siamese you can form brass from the 45-70, though you have to turn the rim to .560 diameter trim brass to 2.04" need a set of 33 wcf dies and use an 8mm die to set the shoulder back or purchase a set of custom dies, alot of work . 8x52R Siamese rim diameter of .561 with an overall of 2.925 To use the .348 you will need to open up the bolt face, but the 30-40 should require no modifications, you must also remember that this action is limited to about 45,000 PSI breach pressure (I think that should be CUP, but am unable to find my old notes). I will dig around in my junk/network with a few friends and see if I can dig up some info on the .25 Krag. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
