.30-40 Krag Unique or Red Dot Loads

[Niederlander]

Gentlemen, Does anyone have any reliable data for .30-40 Krag loads using a 220 grain cast bullet?  I love Trail Boss, but I can't get that right now, and not sure when I'll be able to.

Heaviest bullets my books have.

Dale, I use 10.5 grns of unique with a 200 grn cast bullet in my krag. Works really well out to 100 yards.

I also use the same bullet in my 95 Winchester 7.62x54R with 11.5 grns of unique averaging 1270 fps

Data I do not have... but I use 10 grains of promo, which is supposed to be the same as red dot.  That is what I shot at the grand muster... I decided on the 10 from "The Load" by Ed Harris (https://www.hensleygibbs.com/edharris/articles/The%20Load.htm).  I scaled it back to make sure I didn't hurt my krags... took it to the range and had a nice grouping to start, so I didnt play with it.  Some load work up might improve the group, but I was happy with what I had.  You do have to verify sight placement, but it worked well enough to land in 3rd for long range.

Dale I sent you an email with some load data from one of my old manuals. Could not get the picture to load on this site it was too big of a file.

Here is the load data from Whiskey Double. It is from a Lyman book from the '70s.

I have used 10 or 11 grains of Accurate number 2 in my Krag with montana bullet company gas checked 210 grain bullets.  I also load these up to service level loads with varget.
