[edit] Hollow-point???

The classic African game round has a solid jacket. I bought a Mannlicher 1910 rifle of this calibre in Zimbabwe, and saw two other such rifles there. The ammunition for them was old Kynoch manufactured packets of 20. I got three packets with the rifle, consisting of mixed soft point and fully jacketed.

I do not have access to references on the history of the round, but for Africa I believe the reference to hollow point may be mistaken. ChrisPer 05:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
