Interesting thread, I'm bookmarking it for reference.

I've shot a fair bit of ball ammo in sporters with varying degrees of accuracy. Most was relatively newish so no worries about the age of the ammo. Most wasn't as accurate as commercial ammo, though that can be barrel harmonics of the individual load. I had some PMC ball back in the 80's that shot extremely well in a sportered 03 though. 3 shots in just under an inch was par for that ammo. Wish I'd bought more of it. So long as age isnt a question, shoot as much of it as you'd like, its great for plinking.

Back off topic,...thanks for the Krag pictures! I love the carbines. I've had it in mind to do a 1903 carbine similar in style to the Krags, and a knock around shooter/mountain/truck gun.
