The .287/.88 bullets sre getable.

I own a Ross rifle, in .303

And it appears that you are right, they were designed by a Scotsman.

I was told they were designed and built in Canada, but it seems they were designed in Scotland and only built in Canada.

Or maybe the online information is wrong. That happens too.

I'll have to do some more research.
