The 30-40 Krag is a fine cartridge, I've owned and used the 30-40 Krag for many years. When I moved to Alaska I used a custom sporter 30-40 Krag with a Lyman Alaskan (2.5 power) in a G&H side mount, the rifle was also equipped with a Lyman 48 receiver sight. I used factory Remington 220 grain ammo and never felt I was under gunned, this rifle cleanly killed both Moose and Caribou. If I had not lost that rifle in a house fire I would have it today. I am building a Borchardt sporting (Zischang type) rifle and the caliber will be .30-40 Krag.
