RSR Distributor in Orlando set us up with an import company that brought in a lot of exotic ammo, mostly for African hunting. A good friend and PH named Mark Sullivan was getting people all stirred up about African hunting with his video Black Death and several other videos later. We booked a lot of guys to Africa in the early 90s and we furnished most of the ammo thru our shop and we never carried any A-Square ammo. A lot of the hunters were rich folks that were using double rifles in 470 Nitro, 500 nitro, 450/400, 9.3 X 74, 500 Jeffery, 505 Gibbs, 404 Jeffery and a lot of others. Mark used a 500 Nitro double in his video and that got people wanting them. I had a friend that owned a company that carried every kind of double rifle made. Our PH, John Abraham wanted a double rifle as he was using a bolt gun in 450 Watts Magnum at the time. His wife lauri called me and asked me to find him a good double if I could for around $30,000. I found him a Jeffery's of London double in 475 Jefferys #2 for about that price and we carried the ammo by Kynoch. John used that rifle up to a few years ago.
