    Greetings @caberslash,
    I deliberately used the word "English" rather than "British" as you likely noticed. Even NZ's military first bolt action repeater was a Remington Lee in .43 Spanish. I believe there is one in Te Papa. Ross was not the first one with a straight pull military rifle either. That honour fell to Lee in 1895 with the 6mm Lee Navy.

    @grandpamac Lee was ahead of his time... 6mm and also the parent case to the .220 Swift!

    Wonder if he would shoot a Creedmoor?
