Ammo and 2 world's meeting

[Scrumbag]

Hello gents

These were for sale in a local auction, Kynoch 30-30 Ammo

Kynoch, who of course made ammo for the big bores of dangerous game hunting, also made the "American Classic"

Thought some might find that interesting.

Wow I never knew they did.....!

Cool.

[piller]

I never knew that, either. Well, today has not been wasted. I learned something.

[earlmck]

Well I'll be danged!

[Griff]

I ain't sure I've ever heard of Kynoch.

Thanks for taking the time to post that.
I've seen a lot of Kynoch ammo over the years...mostly overseas.
I doubt most folks would recognize ammo for their good old "thirty-thirty" if you offered 7.62 x 51R to them..!!

[Nath]

Those rounds rekindle an old flame in me! I once saw a chap with a 30wcf sxs double! It was lite and petite.

I have since longed for a lite barreled break action single shot in 30wcf but they don't exist over here.

I won't bother now but that little double will always have a special place in my heart!

[J Miller]

I've shot a lot of 303 Brit mil surp ammo, much of it made by Kynoch. Seen many other cartridges made by them ... except the 30-30.
That is one box of ammo I'd love to add to my collection.

That is interesting. I wonder how the ballistics compare with American ammo.

Apparently was sold a lot in Canada

The box has "metal covered soft nosed bullet" on it. Maybe it's my eyes but the loaded cartridges look like cast bullets to me. Reloads?---6

[M. M. Wright]

That's what it looks like to me.

Nath, the first Handi Rifle I bought was a .30-30 that I still have. Though Handi rifles are no longer made you might be able to find a Henry single shot.

like old fanny green, just the way the light is shining on it.....

Yea....your right Ray....I knew I had some of that Kynoch......just checked....three boxes...two are still factory sealed.....the one that was open showed the jacket to be similar to the old cupro-nickel from our early jacketed ammo.---6

[hfcable]

thought 30/30 was 7.62x 47R , and 7.62X51 was 308 ??

[Old No7]

I ain't sure I've ever heard of Kynoch.

Kynoch was the successful commercial successor to Lester's Ammo -- which was started by an older but not-so-smart brother, who died young in Africa........
