I've got a Lee-Remington chambered in 30-40Krag that was my Grandpa's. I think the original load for that round was 30-40-220 (30 cal, 40gr smokeless powder, 220 grain bullet). So I loaded some Sierra 220gr Roundnose bullets on top of 40grains of H4831, and this past fall, my brother became the 3 generation of my family to harvest a buck with this gun.
