Thread: 30-40 Krag

Greetings,
The last ones I saw were at Collings and Brady sometime in the 1990's. They were loaded by them for No 4 Lee Enfields they had rebarrelled to .30-40 using take off target barrels. You can easily reform .303 cases to .30-40 although they do come up a bit short. The .30-40 was a blatant copy of the .303. I did have a bit of trouble with thick shoulders on some WW cases. You could probably set the shoulder back with a .308 die and fire form although I have not tried it. Reformed cases and 150 grain RN projectiles shoot really well through my .30-40 Martini in spite of the long neck, reduced loads mind.
