Back then, with the stopping power of the cartridge was effectively advertised. This also explains the special shape of the bullets.

I don't know why this cartridge was developed back then. They were as little needed as they are now. A. Alphin writes in his Book that, for the modern big game hunter, the 600 is no more suitable than it was for non professionals hunters in Taylor's day. The majority of the professional ivory hunters was formerly satisfied with their DR caliber 577 Nitro Express.

Nevertheless it remains a special event to shoot with a DR of this caliber and why not, to hunt with it as well. One don't need a rifle like that, but it stands as the symbol of an era and with a mystique which is difficult to outdo. I also have one in my gun safe.
