Research notes
The 11.2 X 72 SCHULER was introduced in 1904 and produced until WW2. It utilises the rebated rim design which will fit the bolt of the M88 8mm mauser case. It was adopted by numerous rifle manufacturers and utilised in the German African protectorates as a big game cartridge. It was the most popular of the Schuler designed cartridges.
