Pretty sure the British were primarily using Lee-Metfords in .303. I doubt the Brits were making hollow-point 7x57 Mauser rounds for the Boers, too. ;-)

Thanks for the link - great information!

While the 7mm was the standard weapon, I suspect that the Boers used plenty of British weapons and ammunition.
