I have five Krag sporters and shoot only cast bullets. The "other" Harris touted "load", sixteen grains of 2400 has worked exceptionally well in each rifle with 308284, 311299, 311335, and most particularly 311290.

1902 please post photos of your sporters.

I'd very much like to see them.

What alloy are you casting for the Krag?

For an alloy I like seven ingots of clip on WW, one ingot of Linotype, and 2% of tin. I had a sample analyzed at 92.7% Pb, 4.5% Sb, and 2.8% Sn. it may be unnecessarily hard but I like it and it works.
Fred has posted pictures of my Krags in the past few years. You may search my pitifully few posts and find them there. This year I shot 2,200 Krag shots, all five shot groups, deliberate fire iron receiver sights. Maybe old school but I think it's fun and rewarding.

Here's a link to one thread on one of your sporter Krag rifles

https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubb...1498#Post401498

I'm combing through some of your posts, and some of the threads appear to be missing the photos

Those of you shooting cast, what is your lube? I've been using liquid Alox and/or Javelina Schuetzen.

Wish you guys were a bit closer. I'm sure you could show me a bunch of things with the new fangled, modern cartridges. smile

I make up my own lube. Have a local bee keeper I buy bee's wax from at a reasonable price, and he does a great job of filtering it to get it very clean.

My mixture is extremely simple. It's 50% bee's wax, 40% Crisco, and 10% Vaseline, all by weight. In the summer when it gets too hot I cut down on the Crisco to help make it slightly firmer.

Thanks. I can do that. I have my own bees as well.

My standard bp lube when I use it (rarely), is 50:50 beeswax and mutton tallow, and then a shot of jojoba or sperm oil. But I hardly ever use lube for bp.
