Michael PetrovIs the .25-Krag Dead and should I leave it there?
For the last several weeks I've been looking into the history of the .25-Krag. No surprise that the history is somewhat clouded. I'm thinking about writing a article similar to the .400-Whelen one and wondering if any interest? I did not think at the time that would be much interest in the .400-Whelen and I was very wrong about that.

ConMichael,
If there is something interesting about its development and history, I think it'd be well worth writing. A number of articles have appeared lately in Australian magazines, primarily on reloading for the old 303/25. You'd think it was making a comeback or something! But ... you can still buy a SMLE in 303/25 for under $200 so the old girls are still being used.
Cheers...

Michael PetrovI would cover the early years of the cartridge from 1904-1913. The .25-Krag as we know it today was first adapted in 1910 so this is the 100th anniversary of the cartridge. Could very well be the oldest American wildcat still in use.
