I just started brewing up some Trailboss loads for the 308 last night. Not sure they will be considered “light” loads since I am using the Berry’s plated 220 Grain slugs...

Nope, I am plenty fast without one. I can load almost as fast. A rapid string is 10 shots in 70 seconds prone from standing. I was one of the first guys who shot a Krag at Perry. I had a audience. Load 5 standing, have a pile of 3 and a pile of 2. Targets go up, drop to prone, fire five, open the gate, fling 3 in, drop one, drop one, slam the gate, fire 5.
There were chargers made for the Krag, but they were bulky like the first one you show, and clipped over the rear of the port. Just not a real good design. They were used against the Spanish, the Philippines, and a few went along to WW1.
Well, .318 caliber. It's 110 years old, an I (J) bore prior to WW1 and all original. Got a era peep, very light weight (too light weight) splinter forearm. Stock has last 4 of SN on it.
Concealed carry is for protection, open carry is for attention.
I've got more .30 calibers than anything else. I've got a .30-30 Winchester Model 94 AE, I've got a Model 700 SPS in .30-06, I've got a Model 721 in .30-06 and a .300 WBY, and not to mention a 1917 Enfield, a Remington 03-A3. and two Garands. I used to have a Savage Model 340 in .30-30 that got lost or stolen, not sure. I did used to have a couple of .308s. lost both in two different divorces. But I prefer the .30-06 to about anything.
My next largest amount of the same caliber is 7mm of which I have 3. a 7 Mag, a .280, and a 7x57. Then I have two .25s.

Thank you, interesting bit of gun history.
Ruger Frontier (Precursor to the GSR) in .308 and topped with a Leopoldo 2.5x Scout scope. This is one of my favorite “walking around” rifles

The .270 Win. is by math a true 7mm (.277in - 7.0 mm) but you new that, eh?
