In most litterature I have, the 10 bore rifle was THE predominant caliber in India for elephants before the entry of cordite express catridges ....8 & 4 bores was preferred in Africa.
However...several of the old catalogs mentions a "special 12bore 9 dram load" as the most powerfull 12bore ever made. I have looked in many many huntingbooks/catalogs regarding this 12 bore to determen the caselength, but canīt find any info. Stuffing 9 dram of black powder into a 12 bore case, a caselength of atleast 3.5" most be used. My Manton 10 bore says "8-10 dram" beneath the barrels, and caselength is 3.25".
