Research notes
This cartridge is covered by a Kynoch factory drawing dated 04/01/1913. It shows a rimless case with a length of 2.90" with a 410gr. round nose bullet. This specimen was made by OPM in South Africa for collectors from a 416 Rigby case. The headstamp is basically what it would have looked like. There is no record of this cartridge ever having been manufactured.
