BSA that is a nice one. Birch or Walnut stock, looks to have some curl to it. I am not about to experiment on a classic old rifle but it appears that with progressive powders like the Nitro Chemie types the pressure occurs further down the barrel than more conventional powders. I wonder if this is reliable enough to use in older actions. The theory being that peak pressure would not occur in the chamber but would be spread out more down the barrel.
