that the history of the several batches leads him to expect. 



Such a plant costs little less than £ 1 ,000, and it is 

 for this reason that Kynoch Limited considered it 

 absolutely necessary that the manufadurers of the com- 

 ponents should also load them ; and the more complete 

 the range of manufactures that the loader controls, the 

 more complete will be the success attendant on the 

 loadmg. 



Kynochs were the (ir^ firm in Great Britain who 

 loaded cartridges, the cases, caps, wads and powder in 

 which had all been made by them in their various works, 

 the history of every batch of each component being 

 handed on from department to department till it reaches 

 the hands of the manager of the loading field, who studies 

 the results so put before him, and then marries the com- 

 ponents so as to produce an uniform excellence in the 

 finished cartridges. 



When, in 1 902, Kynoch*s Diredors decided that, for 

 these reasons, hand-loaded cartridges could not give such 

 satisfactory results as fadory-loaded, the components of 

 which were all made under one management, they ordered 

 a number of experiments to be made to determine what 

 were the most common faults of hand-loaded cartridges 

 that fadtory loading ought to obviate, and what was the 

 best system of fadory loading to turn out a cartridge that 

 should give regular results in all guns and in all climates. 



It may surprise shooters to learn that almost every 

 fault found in a cartridge may be caused or obviated by 

 the loading. 



Missfires, hangflres, high pressures, scattered patterns, 

 balled shots and poor penetration can all be caused by
