Had a model 5 Rolling block re-barreled to 30/40 Krag. Now looking for some loading data with heavier bullets.  200-220  gr cast. Just looking for around 1800 fps.  My barrel is 24 inch.
I do have some surplus Wc872, 4831, 4895 both IMR's
Shocked

I think you'll have better luck with 4227 or 4198 with the 200-210 grain bullets @1,400-1,600 fps. I like 311284 and 311290. 311335 is a good one if one can be located. I shoot 1,500 cast bullets through five Krags each year.
