A: My apologies, but we have not tested this ammo to records its muzzle velocity, and that data is nowhere to be found online. I haven't got its ballistic coefficient handy either.

A: Hello Adam! Well, this ammo is older than your rifle, so I certainly can't imagine it could be loaded to a pressure that it couldn't handle. Just take care that its cupronickel jacket makes its bullet magnetic.
If you're looking for another sure bet, I'd recommend this ammo by Prvi Partizan that is loaded for superior functionality in an M1 Garand: luckygunner.com/prvi-partizan-30-06-ammo-20-rounds-of-150-grain-fmj-ammunition. It too is loaded to a lower pressure than modern era commercial 30-06, so it shouldn't stress out your classic rifle either. This ammo is nonmagnetic, which your range may or may not require.

A: Hello Jon!
1. These bullets have cupronickel jackets, hence their silvery sheen. They're also strengthened with iron and/or manganese. Manganese and copper become magnetic when they are mixed together, so these bullets will attract a magnet no matter what.
2. Good thing you checked about the primers! There are two important differences between a Boxer and Berdan primer. First, the Boxer's case has one central flash hole whereas the Berdan's has two side by side. Second, the Boxer has an internal anvil, whereas the Berdan's anvil is integral to the case itself. In short, you can not use standard primers to reload this ammo.
The vast majority of people wouldn't bother reloading Berdan primed ammo because (a) Berdan primer sizes are less standardized and thus more complicated; (b) lining up the primer with the two flash holes is a huge pain; and (c) the firing pin actually wears out the integral anvil on the case when it ignites the primer, permanently wearing it out in a way that can't be fixed. You'll find component Berdan primers pretty hard to come by for these reasons. I would not recommend this ammo for reloading.
I appreciate your kind words and your business! Please let me know if you ever have any more questions.

A: Hello JD! I don't see why your Woodsmaster should encounter any problems firing this ammo. I know your carbine is happy to fire M2 ball, and Kynoch should not have loaded an American cartridge to very different specs from what Britain's ally preferred. Without inspecting your rifle I'd say you're safe.

A: Thanks for reaching out, Dan! It may interest you to know that this ammo was manufactured back around when the M1 Garand was still the standard U.S. service rifle. We expect it should work fine in an M1, although we have not seen yours. It's usually more modern cartridges that may be loaded to a higher pressure that the M1 isn't designed for.
