      My last load was 35.8 IMR 4064 capped with a 180 gr RNSP Hornady interlock, match grade primers. The Hornady manual says this should run 2100fps.
      15 rounds, the mean was about 2000fps, but there were 4 in there that were 2100-2200fps.
      These were individually hand loaded and each one weighed.
      This is what makes me nervous about temp sensitive powders in the Krag.

      It's also not a tack driver, so my next step is to slug the bore.

          just slugged the barrel it came back at .3075. Happy about that.
          Will shoot it 1st time tomorrow with jacketed bullets. Then load up some cast.
          ETA: shot for the 1st time @Burro, just had a few rounds so got on at 50 yds in 2 shots and shot a 3 shot group about 1.4 inches. Decent start
