Hey there, just got myself a little Krag- Jorgensen, converted to 6.5x55 by Globe. Nice little monty carlo stock. I think it's kinda cool, but I know I've got to keep the pressures down, not like my Tikka 6.5 Thinking of using 120 and 140 Coreloks. What about using 5 or 6 time fired brass from my Tikka? Seeing as the pressures are lower I was thinking about running them through the FL die and then get a couple of loads out of them for the Krag. Anybody got some loads for one of these old girls? I don't think this one will every be worth a fortune, but she sure feels nice to carry and I think it will go on some camping trips this summer and fall. thanks guys
 
The 6.5x55 Krag was the service rifle of Norway.It's better built than the Americian Krag,having a bearing second lug.American manual loads were lowered for it. European loads are warmer. But check the manual,some are for modern rifles only.
 
I have been shooting hornady100 gr.sp and 120gr.barnes tsx's from my krag6.5x55 carbine and my sporterized krag.
They both shoot factory/reloads without showing any over preasure signs .
I found the best load for 100gr. hornady's to be imr4350 @47gr.
For the 120 gr.barnes Tsx's i use imr4350@47 gr.
You'll love the krags accuracy!Pre WWII. have the best workmanship/accuracy.
