Not sure a session with the chronograph will take into account a century of deterioration of those early powders, and the associated drop in velocity, but still an interesting exercise for sure.
I'll guess 2725 fps, just to pick a number!
...provided you warm them up under your armpit first, Mike!
Pretty sure my local bottle-shop will take your credit-card over the phone, too.
Hi Tony,
Armpit eh? Considering it is -18°C this AM I believe that might get my attention!
As to the age of the ammo; yes, age could be a factor. “If” the box still has the Kynoch date code I will be able to narrow that down.
Since I have fired US made .30-06 from WWII and Korea era with normally expected results, I’m hoping the same if the ammo is later production.
Interesting experiment at any rate.
