There is a M1 Garand club that shoots a modified 100yd monthly match where I live, 50 mile ride each way. They have a vintage bolt gun category for their match which would allow Krags. Springfields are what are usually shot though rarely. I've shot it once with my M1 frankengarand and did ok for a first timer. This fall I'm thinking that I'd like to try my Constabulary Krag and of course I'd be in my Span Am uniform. I know that there is a 200 yd Krag/ Springfield official NRA match but no way I could do 200 yds but 100 could be a doable. I would appreciate any information on 100 yd loads, technique, etc from the forum. My WASA/SASS club does a Span Am boltgun match twice a year but our range is limited and we shoot at steel so we load lead bullets light for it. The only rub is that another relatively close cas club does their WB thing the same day. Dagnabit!!

B.E., your regular cast loads for the Krag should be good for at least 100 yards with the right sight setting.
