Enter "Mr. Trouble" and things get re-thought!
The British were to have a learning experience during the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902).
They would face a highly mobile enemy with lots of good rifle shots.
The Boer forces were armed primarily with a variation of the model 1893 Spanish Mauser, Ludwig Loewe and DWM made model 1895 Mausers, chambered for the 7X57mm Mauser cartridge, carried in 5-round 'stripper clips'.
