It seems that the World is full of nay-sayers when posting about the 11.2x72 Schuler cartridge.

But this post is about a very fine rifle that was recently acquired - not the rifle's cartridge efficiency.

Basically "all" published loading data is "theoretical" as a guide to the reloader. But when comparing apples to apples, History still showed that the 11.2x72 Schuler was an effective Big Game cartridge by German hunters in Africa.
