Sorry about this...I only seem to ask dumb questions. The proof marks show "cordite 90". Is that a BPE? I would assume that that means it is smokeless. Is there some other designation that shows it as BPE? I see the 577BX. It seems to be conflicting information.

As always, thanks in advance.

And Merry Xmas to all!

Armbar.

The rifle is Nitro proofed. It is not a BP rifle. No information on date of manufacture. This is a rare but not unheard of load. The Kynoch ammo in the picture is also marked 577 750 grain bullet.

It is 577 EX not BX. A little hard to read sometimes.
