TW,

Lyman's 311284 was designed in 1906 especially for 600 yard target shooting in the .30-40 Krag. Western bullet Company offers this bullet for sale. http://missoula.bigsky.net/western/cbip/b311284.html

Good luck,

Thanks guys for the info.
I think I'll try that 210gr.Lyman first.
Back in the bad ol' days I had a sporterized Krag that shot those 180's really well so I'll try that for a jacketed type.
