P.S.: According to numerous sources Otto Bock developed and/or introduced the 9.3x62mm big game cartridge for Mauser rifles in about 1905. This round is still very much alive, as is its rimmed version 9.3x74R, popular with modern DR makers and users (9.3x74R was developed a bit earlier and not by Bock as far as I know, but both cartridges are very similar in ballistics and use same bullets).
