[QUOTE="BigDon, post: 2761059, member: 107254"] It is primarily powder choices by the ammo manufacturer + plus the pressure strategy of the cartridge designer. Those old Africa cartridges were built right after the end of the black powder era. Pressures had to be low. The guns weren’t built with modern materials. This is the same issue with old and new 45/70 guns. There is 45/70 ammo for old school guns and newer ammo for guns like the Marlin Guide guns. The 416 REM and 375R are loaded to much higher pressures - and will reliably light in cold weather. [/QUOTE]
