True. I remember reading an article by ? - I forget which writer - about rifles in Kenya, and he said the 8x60 was very popular in East Africa among the settlers. Probably because it was possible to get cheaper ex-military Mausers in 8x60S compared to more expensive Westley Richards, Jeffery, Rigby etc rifles in the "English" chamberings.
The article was featured on the NitroExpress.com forums. Must see if I can find it using a search.
Found the post, back from 2003 no less!
Guns of the Kenyan Settlers
However the PDF link is not looking working. Probably have a copy of the PDF somewhere (?) on a PC of HDD somewhere ...
Having a quick look.
