Mick:

Ah, yes, the dreaded Fuckitis Virus (the irrational compulsion to fix what isn't broken). A mutation of which is the AR/Ray/RIP Dementia (the firm belief that a RN steel jacket solid won't shoot through both sides of a coffee can). But geeze Mick, don't be so hard on him. It isn't his fault. He probably picked it up hanging around the AR isolation ward.

Bulldog:

Look, you need to have it regulated with what you're going to shoot in it. If you're going to handload, then have him regulate it with his Woodleigh load and you can play with the other stuff later. If you're not going to handload, have it regulated with factory Kynoch and stick with that. Besides, it won't void your warranty like handloads might.

The current Kynoch is good, consistent ammo. The softs and solids are Woodleigh. To my knowledge, Kynoch is the only factory flanged nitro express ammunition that is pressure tested in the correct way.

The Westley Richards ammo is another matter. I've seen a few warnings around the web about it and have spoken with a number of guys who tried it in double rifles. My own experience with it was consistent with theirs. I only fired two rounds. I initially couldn't get the gun open and the velocity was 350 fps over standard. I've since heard of a .500 Nitro that was blown up with it. I wouldn't fire this stuff in any rifle, much less a double.
