Even vintage Nitro Express rifles often regulate nicely at lower speeds than claimed by Kynoch/Eley.

With these wonderful old rifles so much is now just mystery that is lost to the mists of time.

Well..as discussed before...these old rifle takes a different approach than a modern high powered rifles that in general shoot accurate. Also one has to be in love with the era these old guns represents plus aquire knowledge too to see what you are buying. Then comes reloading technics etc.

These guns we like here on this forum is depended we like the history or era..just like Winchesters and Colts. Otherwise it will die out slowly. I can image all these blackpowder express hammerrifles in the 1940s were just standing here and there in homes being moved around for no activity to either been thrown out or ended as wallhangers with no value at all. Some might were kept as a family piece back then from some uncle or grandfather who used it in the colonies..but it hadn’ t been shot in 50 years time.
