The serial number is 15 thousand and change which I think puts it at 1912. Maybe some readers have access to records that can pinpoint our rifles. I would like to point out that yours has a dollshead that many folks associate with a higher end gun, whereas mine has the round cross bolt. I have handloads using h4350 and Hornady softs and solids that go 2150 and 2150 respectively and print touching at " "yards - but don't want to provide more detail else I might start a fire. I have not shot the factory hornadys yet but the factory Kynacos print to same point of aim as do woodleighs with reloader 15 and wads. I was fortunate to get the rifle with the above information when I purchased it, but at least for mine most of the info is in the Graham book. Maybe some of this information will be helpful for designing loads with your #2., but if Ken has it dialed already, then you are way ahead of the game. I think I picked up your rifle or a rifle very much like it some years ago. It was too short for me - I recall 14 1/4 with pad. At that time it had the RCBS dies it its original RCBS box in the case. One thing I might note is mine does not have a cheek-piece like yours - a feature I really like. My gun comes up great for me with a 14 7/8ths" pull with 1/2" original pad. It weighs between 10 3/4 - 11 pounds with Trader Keith's snapcaps, and for whatever reason the recoil seems very mild to me. I was also able to order a Wesley Richards sling - from LL (?) at Wesley Richards - with the original style sling hooks (not to be mistaken for winchester sling hooks which don't work). Hokay maybe tmi. Give me a shout if you want to chat.
