Thread: The new cartridge that makes the most sense to me.

The Vom Hofe cartridge was similar and perhaps the same as the .280 Ross, perhaps the grandfather of all beltless magnums. It has been suggested that the V H velocities were achieved on a typewriter (mechanical word processor for the younger generation). Vom Hofe, Newton, Ross and others were the firebrand wildcatters of their age.
