But it's 99 years old! Everyone knows old cartridges are no good. Look at the 6.5x55, 7x57, 3006, 303, 8x57, 375 H&H plus a heap more. Absolute rubbish .

That's a pretty good group, I'd just go and shoot things. You'll spend a lot of time and money trying to get better and probably find yourself back at this load anyway.
