Research notes
Designed around 2000 by South African Professional Hunter Brad Ralston, it provides hunters with a rifle that has enough stopping power for anything that Africa has to offer. It is ballistically similar to the 585 Nyati that was developed about 10 years earlier but has the advantage of a full sized rim as opposed to the 585 Nyati with its rebated rim.
