Also in the mix is the use of the 450 Express. The Kombo passed proof in 1910. The 450 Express was Rigby's brainchild in1898 by utilizing Cordite as a propellent. By 1907/1908 the Brits banned the use of 450 Express in Hunting platforms in India & the Sudan to keep the locals from shooting back @ them w/ captured military rifles. 450/500 morphed to 465/500. Would a 450 Express have been a good choice in 1910?
