Thank you.

I'm always on the look out for Hornady... but I really like the Woodleighs.

Separate topic on the Woodleighs: I tried their 6.5mm Protected Point in my 1903. For a spitzer bullet, they fed well, but I was having serious over-pressure issues that I haven't figured out. I may have been under-charged, and I may have not trimmed the brass enough. I don't think I over-did the roll crimp, and I don't think I loaded long and went all the way to seating the bullet on the lands. I should have a chamber cast done. That's going to have to wait. For the record, that rifle was made in '39, and is also very finicky on COL.

The last time Midway had a sale on the Kynoch, I bought several boxes, but they are still in the US, waiting for my return. Ditto on Qual-Cart. That's on my list, but a bridge too far right now.

I ran my unknown-date Kynochs through without the firing pin in the rifle, and melted butter is correct. The same is true of the Dorfners.

I will need dies, and I'll probably go with 4D.

Next step is to get the Dorfner bullets to the range, with my LabRadar, so I can work up ballistics tables. Hornady has a great calculator.

I don't know what else I can do to check the rifle before firing. From my research, too much headspace is less dangerous than too much, so that checked out. Biggest concern left is the unknown Kynochs. I don't think the old powder is dangerous. More likely they'll have too little bang rather than too much, so I guess I'll just have to try.

Only other change I want to make to the rifle is I'd like to find a DST for it, but that is NOT critical. I will probably take it to Poland with me, and if the Red Deer is close enough that my old eyes still work, I'll use that instead of the scoped rifle. I think...

Thanks again for everyone's help.
