Continental medium & big bore double rifles cartridges
25/08/22 09:08 PM

A discussion query prompted by Ahmed's thread.

Almost all of the Nitro Express Rimmed cartridges are considered "British". Perhaps due to Britain's large colonial empire especially India and the Maharajahs appetite for fine doubles.

Now I hope our Continental members will correct this.

France had a big African empire plus Indochina.

Germany before WW1 had fine colonies in East Africa and SW Africa. Plus a colony, Togo? in West Africa. New Guinea in the Pacific.

Spain and Portugal, colonies in the Americas and Asia.

What "Continental" rimmed big bore and larger medium bore cartridges were chambered in Continental double rifles? Or similar rifles?

The obvious one is the 9.3x74R. Any others?

I can think of one or more.

Are any of the Nitro Express Rimmed cartridges actually German?
