Kynoch .303 Mark 6 - 215 grain ball

[Surpmil]

It appears to be a cupro-nickel jacket over a lead core which is visible in this photo.

"Hark the herald angels sing,
Kynoch's pills are just the thing."

And would probably cure many more ills than Beecham's

Elephants? Yes, one wonders what the purpose of a solid tip for game purposes would be - or was Kynoch just using up some old jackets they had about the place?

Or at that time still wanted for target work back when people remembered that earlier Lee Enfields were rifled and sighted for MkVI?

I understand Kynamco are looking for a new owner

A history going back to 1863 and a worldwide reputation? Yes, dither around and run it into the ground so it can be closed down and scattered to the winds as quickly as possible, in the usual manner.

No agents in North America? There's no one here who'd like some MkVI ammo, or some 215gr. sporting loads? Truly bizarre.

Maybe they can sell it to the Germans; at least they'll run it properly.
