.300 Kynoch
Anyone ever heard of a .300 Kynoch? I picked up an old case while sitting under a baobab tree in Zimbabwe. I was in the Beitbridge West Campfire area near the confluence of the Shashi with the Limpopo.

It is a small rimmed case that looks for all practical purposes like a straight-walled .22 Hornet...in fact when I first picked it up...I thought it would be a Hornet case.

.300 Kynoch is stamped in the head.

As soon as I remember where I stashed it...think it is in my shaving kit...I will post a pic.

I know...can’t read head-stamp but it looks just like the one in your second link which I copied below.
