There was a long gap between the 404, 425 & 416 and the 458WinMag.
I guess there wasn't the craze of trotting out the "New and Improved" that we see in the last 25 years or so.
The 500 Jeffery (& 500 Schuler) came out in that gap - 1926 I think, but after that, not much with commercial success was launched until 1956 when the 458 was introduced.




My old-timers allowed me to only think of the .500 Jeffery and the .505 Gibbs only when creating the opening post.

First funny, no bolt action .450 was created until the .458 Win Mag some 50 years later. When the NE cartridges were dying ...

When were the .500 Jeffery / Schuler created? And the .505 Gibbs?


Any other greater than .375 bolt action cartridges?
