quite a few of the original African cartridges out at about the same time as did a couple of european ammo companies like Kynoch, Mauser, Norma and one or two others. One that I can't remember the name was a yellow box with a picture of a rhino on the front. We carried as much of them as we could in our shop back then as so many guys were going to Africa.. Kase and I took several African cartridges to Africa in the early to mid 90s in custom Ruger #1 rifles and none were A-Square ammo. This included 470 nitro, 500 nitro, 416 Rigby, 404 Jeffery, 500 jeffery, 505 Gibbs and several others. In '94 we went into a gun shop in Kimberley and their ammo racks were well stocked with most of the older African cartridges, some that Kase and I had never seen before. Alphin just jumped on the bandwagon.
