Research notes

The 425 African is one of two cartridges (the other one being a rimless version) that was developed by Helmut Scheiring in 2014. It would seem that the rimmed version was introduced first and that the 404 Jefferey case was used as the basis for the designs. Cases were in all probability made by Horneber. (Dixon Ref. A104)
