Thanks 400NitroExpress. Good info. Actually, I have an original 5 stick box of Kynoch ammo. Might be an excellent idea to put one through the chrono. I did not see the calibre listed on Kynoch,s website, but will e-mail David.

Tero, thanks much for you offer on the older ammo, but I think I'll try and work my own loads up with modern componants. Regarding the name Sikahunter, it has to do with one of my passions. That being hunting the free ranging sika deer which were released in 1916 on the marshy eastern shore of Maryland in Dorcester County. Quite fun to hunt these very tasty miniature elk, of course, only with a double rifle.

Perhaps I can get CptCurl to come up as my guest during the two week season. Yes Roscoe, thats an invitation. Double rifles only.

Regards

Don
