Great article Doc!
Amazing to see where & how this fantastic cartridge had its roots in German gunsmithing & ammunition history.
I knew Herr Brenneke was a genius when it came to a more effective cartridge design, but August Vom Hofe took it one more step being influenced by his work. It is amazing to see such brilliant cartridges & projectiles were already designed nearly 100 years before all the fanfare of 'modern' times!
Great old chamois mate, it was certainly a tough hunt waiting patiently to get....one you'll remember for a lifetime!
