Have any of you used/hunted with this ammo in any calibre..?

I bought some in .475 3 1/4 (480 grain softs) and I get an average of 2158fps (658m/s) out of 23" barrels and pretty good regulation at 50 yards....some 5000ft-lbs dead on.

Kynoch states 2175fps out of 28" barrels so I guess it computes pretty well..

I get about the same speed with 94 grains of Norma N4 and the same bullet..

Any other experiences..?

I've shot the new production ammo in my .450 no2 and .600. I don't know the load used, but it was accurate and the recoil felt "right' i.e. not too light equating to a lower velocity. I didn't buy it, it was given to me at one of the conventions--Dallas, maybe. However, due to cost, I reload for all of my doubles.

PS. I've also shot lots of vintage Kynoch but I've had many hang fires and chronographed velocity was all over the chart.

Cal, I shot some old Kynoch in my 9,5x57 mannlicher, crazy recoil and bad hangfires...

And I hear stories of people who hunt elephant with 60 year old Kynoch...good grief..

Cal, is the new Kynoch .600 equivalent to the old 110 grain cordite load..?

The RL-15/Norma 203B loads with foam or polyfill for my doubles has a very consistent velocity.
I have a PDF copy of Ross' "Reloading the Nitro Express" available to anyone caring to read it.
Please contact me at rkmojo@aol.com

I believe it is for 100 grains, but it is best to email Kymanco.
