I hope you used water as well as oils later. The nitro solvents will not get rid of all of the gun barrel 'toxins' that are contained in corrosive primers.
Ballistol and water... lots of it, followed by normal cleaning.
I'm loading 47 grs of Re 15 behind a hard cast 270 gr gas check bullet in my 1902 Webley. This approximates the old Kynoch cartridges I tested. I've used 44 grs behind a 300 gr Hornady solid but never chronographed it. The cases dropped out and I feel I could have gone a bit hotter but I don't want to strain the old lady.
