Welcome to the Krag!
It does sound like a bit of a hooked surface on the sear; mine didn't do that. I just put a bit weaker spring in the trigger and lightly/carefully stoned the surfaces. It is still a two stage, of course, but entirely serviceable.
The sights on mine are Lyman banded ramp front and Lyman 48K rear - a lot to recommend there, but they must be found on ebay or similar.
WC872 is the ticket for cast - Charles tipped me off to that, and I have never tried anything else since it works so perfectly well. IIRC it takes 50grs of WC872 to fill the case to the base of a 220gr Lyman 311284. Depending on barrel length and particular rifle, that should give you 1700-1800fps. It will turn over the 600yd rams with regularity. Or a doe at 50yds... I REALLY like the Krag.
