Thanks for that D_V. Loved the article, illustrations, and the vintage ads.

Two sentences especially struck me:

"But when he saw the proceeds of the .275
in actual ivory, 60 tusks, and I told him
they were the result of two days' hunting,
he began to think hard."

And this one (speaking of the .30-06)

"Sufficient diameter, enough penetration with no
bending, is a specification that would
answer others' than the hunter's dream."

Ha!

He was kind of a Scottish Jack O'Connor.
