Re: A Mauser 10.75x68 Oberndorf Model B Safari rifle comes home

Everything is fine, no one knows what went wrong.

In all these discussions, I am the only one who has shot buffaloes with this cartridge in Africa, two buffaloes with the original ammunition from RWS and the 22,5g thin jacketed bullet, one with a reloaded cartridge and a 347gr FMJ bullet from Woodleigh.

In all cases, as experienced big game hunters had previously noted, I found a lack of penetration.

Therefore, before expressing a opinion on the effectiveness of this cartridge when hunting big game, it would be better to test it yourself. This cartridge is marginal for hunting big game, and to believe that modern bullets and powder can improve something is just wishful thinking.
