Cordite itself is hard on bores, why bother using it if you have an alternative?
I tried to save it for two reasons... firstly, so I wouldn't waste perfectly fine cordite. The second reason is because I'm sentimental I suppose. Modern powder is better, that's not debatable, I just like to shoot history I guess... If that makes any sense. I have a bunch of Royal Lab 1939 303 Enfield that I shoot a chargers worth of occasionally. I like to shoot the loads that my ancestors did... Although I have no direct attachment to it... I can feel what they felt, smell what they did to a degree etc... I'm a sentimental fool. This isn't the Dr. Phil show, so I'll stop my rambling now.
