Kynoch .303 Mark 6 - 215 grain ball

[desperatedan]

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.

Perhaps somewhat unfair.

Kynamco was set-up by David Little and his wife in the mid-1990s and it shouldn't be confused with the original Kynoch/ICI/IMI/Eley group of companies. IIRC, after many years of running it down, IMI/Eley finally ceased production of centre-fire ammunition in the 1970s.

When he formed Kynamco David Little licensed the Kynoch brand from Eley and since then has allowed owners to keep many big game/double rifle and other "obsolete" calibre rifles going when stocks of original ammunition were no longer available. I think that David and his wife must now be in their 70s/80s so it's likely a desire to retire that will be prompting the sale of the business.

I hope they manage to find a buyer rather than liquidate the business and then maybe we can look forward to MkVI and MkVII ammunition from them!
