I just made a deal for a early sporter with a reciever sight 30-40 krag and want to get it shooting with cast bullets. If you have supplies surplus to your needs, please contact me with the price.
Thanks

New Winchester and sometimes Remington Krag brass is available probably least expensively from www.grafs.com or midwayusa.com. Unless there is no choice I try to avoid 2nd hand brass because you truly have no idea about its previous usage history. I consider grafs a first choice source because prices are usually competitive, shipping is included, and I have always gotten great service from them. New 30-40 dies and basic bullet moulds made by Lee are probably least expensive with it worth googling to find the currently least expensive Lee product source. Factoring in free shipping, this is often Grafs. I am among those many people that has always been fully satisfied with performance of Lee products and much prefer Lee's simple approach to case length trimming. But others are not happy unless they pay more. People seem to obsess over moulds. But if you are not already an experienced bullet caster, or somebody you trust tells you there really is only one particular mould which produces 30 caliber bullets loved by Krags, Lee is probably as good a place to start as any.

A year ago 30-40 brass was hard to come by and people were trying to get close to a $1 each. There is a lot on the market right now, buy new brass and buy twice as much as you think you need.
My first thought was wondering if you had bought that Krag as well.

If I recall right, Lyman or Ideal #311284 was designed for the Krag. Should run around 208 grains, depending on your alloy.

Penultimate, after you get set up, if you wish to try out some 311284's let me know. It's my all time favorite projectile for the Caliber .30, U.S.Army.
