I could be wrong but I dont think Kynamco 'make' anything these days - they just 'assemble'.
The brass on my Kynamco is S&B and only useful for 'scrap value' after one firing.
I have yet to come across anyone who has succesfully reloaded S&B brass past 2 reloads.
I'll have to dig-out the box, as if I remember it does state the bullet manufacturer / type and it wasnt Sierra - I've got a feling it was an 'ROF' batch of one-million they sourced. It was mentioned on here a year or two ago.
Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

I called Kynamco two weeks ago shopping for Mk 7 174 g flatbase bullets for reloading. Seems I'd read a post months ago that they replicated the original Mk 7. Very nice staff and pleasant conversation, but not available, and did not anticipate any available. She did note that they used the Sierra.

Sierra makes a 180 grain flat base Pro-hunter bullet that's been a favorite of mine for years. The 174 grain Sierra Match King is a hollow point, boat tail configuration.

No, but I somehow inferred you were using a specific brass, which was incorrect. Sorry!

closest I can find is the Sierra 180 sp/fb its only 6 grains heavier than 174 but you can even that out with your powder charge.
