English v German/Austrian gunmakers

Luckily for the posterity, the statistics I have are referred to the "Austrian" provinces in those times.
I took the date referred to:,
-Niederoesterreich
-Oberoesterreich
-Salzburg
-Steiermark
-Kaernten
-Tirol & Vorarlberg
The "Republik Oesterreich" of our days corresponds to those "Laender" (provinces), plus Burgenland (belonging to the Kingdom of Hungary at that time) minus the part of Tyrol that in 1919 was given to Italy.
Therefore, the comparison between data of 1906 and those of our days is possible with good approximation.
 
When comparing 1906 with recent statistics it should be noted that in 1906 iron sights were mostly (>90%) used. Shooting distances on game can be quite long in the Alps which made most game out of reach for the average hunter those days.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
