WHAT IS THE 30-40 KRAG?

The .30-40 Krag is a type of ammunition used in rifles. The U.S. Army developed it in the late 1800s as the first American military cartridge to use smokeless powder. The name “30-40” refers to the bullet’s caliber and the amount of powder it requires.

HISTORY

The .30-40 Krag cartridge gained popularity for its accuracy and performance. The Springfield Model 1892, a bolt-action rifle, used the 30-40 krag. Hunters also appreciated its accuracy and efficiency.

Modern .30-40 Krag ammo typically contains a 180-grain bullet, suitable for hunting medium-sized game like deer. Companies such as Winchester, Remington, Hornady, and HSM manufacture this ammunition.

This round was a great asset for the U.S military as it had outstanding performance and accuracy compared to other cartridges at its time. Hunters also enjoy this round because it allows them to use small-size loads with less weight, flat trajectory, and more aerodynamic characteristics.

All this is thanks to the smokeless powder property of the bullet, which makes it more efficient with excellent muzzle velocity than the black powder cartridges.

The original grain bullet for this load was a 220-grain load with an energy of 1.954 ft-lbf. The modern .30-40 Krag ammo round is a 180 gr bullet, which is the perfect round for short to medium-range hunting of games like elk and deer.

Although other ammo like the 30-06 Springfield has gained in popularity in recent years shadowing the .30-40 ammo, this ammo, despite decades of existence, still has its place in the ammunition market thanks to its outstanding performance in terms of accuracy and efficiency. We have a large quantity of the .30-40 Krag ammo in stock for sale. Shop at our store for unbeatable prices.
