I'm getting off into the weeds here but, wasn't one of Schuyler's cartridges better known as a British cartridge? I think it was in the 500 Nitro class.

The .500 Jeffery and the .404 Jeffery have perhaps prior metric designations. They will pop in my head sooner or later ....

The 8x75R is a necked down 9.3x74R to .323.

A lot of Euro rimless cartridges have a rimmed version for use in drillings etc.

The .500/416 Nitro Express is a recent Euro creation.

Another is the .30R Blaser.

Apologies to our Continental members, us ex-Colonials often think of British and European as being mutually exclusive. Something my French and German friends in London were indignant about when we lived there.

I learned that until 1950, before my time, Australians regarded themselves as British.
