I was given some leftover Krag rounds in Remington cases and after pulling some bullets, they appear to be in new brass with a factory-looking crimp and a 180 grain round nose bullet. Lately I have only seen factory 180 Spitzer rounds. We're these round noses a factory round offered years ago by Remington?

I believe there were, and 220's also. Used to see them on the shelf next to the 303 British I would buy for my father in law's Lee Enfield. I knot that Rem loads the 180 PSP in 30-40 now.

I THINK that’s what me and my buddy were shooting out of his krag a few years ago. I know it was a corelok ammo box and I’m 99% sure they were RN.
It was pretty fun hitting steel at 300 yards and iron sights with that thing
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

Thanks for the word! These appear to have been loaded with 46 grains of a powder with grains that are longer and larger than 3031 grains. It was a compressed, or completely full load. Only 4831 and 4850 loads get to 46 grains in my Sierra manual. I never shot any for not knowing if they were bad handloads.
