ALSO............

On advice from members of the Krag Facebook site I have bought 200 8 x 56 RS Boxer cases - Mannlicher - which fit the rifle and should fireform easily.
Before I bought the cases I bought a collectors round to make sure it would fit and eject which it does.

When I checked the case stamping this is what I have.

Hope you are pleased with the results. Looks like you got a good supply of ammo for a trip to the range.

Powder load is a bit sharp, will drop it to 43 grains I think although I need to fire off the rest of the first load - 40 rounds!

Good shooting. Looks like the old gun and the new made bullets work fine.
