Here's Kermit (AKA The Amazing Rob) nestled in with the .405 Target after semi adjusting windage. The sights are somewhat trying for target work ...but I think I can get around that. Load is 49 grains of 4985 with a 300 gr SP. Wind was 40-50 MPH! Recoil was noticeable . [img:center] Last edited by Ken Nelson; 11/15/11 11:55 AM. Dodging lions and wasting time.....

MBA= Military Bolt Action (Bench Match) Issue military rifles with essentially no modifications. 10 shots for group (2) 10 minutes 10 shots for score (3) 10 minutes 300 yard reduced target at 100 yards. At our club <1.75" will generally win the group. It usually takes >296 to win the aggragate. Lots of fun Dodging lions and wasting time.....

Crouching down behind a kicker on a regular rest, especially a rifle stocked for offhand with a lot of drop at heel and, perhaps, a curved butt plate is just going to hurt. Jerry Liles.

Those sights are being made again. Temporary mounting of the rear sight might make load development & evaluation a bit more meaningful.

Recoil doesn't bother... bother... bother... either of us . w'man That could be an option but I will probably stay with the express sights. A different target may provide a more concise sight picture. Dodging lions and wasting time.....

Of course I've never compared the chamber pressures and the .405 may actually be quite low like a lot of the big guys. What is the Krag's maximum potential without self immolating?

If you remember my experiment with the Krag, the Krag action was built a lot stronger than most people realize. MP Sadly Deceased as of 2/17/2014
