Very popular sporting cartridge in Europe and Africa and in all probability developed around 1907 – 1908. There is an Obernforf Mauser rifle chambered for the 10.75×68 in South African that has a date stamp of 1908, so it would seem an accurate assumption of the introduction of the 10.78×68. Loaded by many European manufacturers as well as by Kynoch. (Dixon Ref. M58)
