John,
I was agreeing with you. As I recall, Partitions were mostly sold locally at first, and it took quite a while before they started catching on.

I was also agreeing with you and just thinking aloud so to speak. I still.may be wrong about the date however as the '48 safari would include the .30/06 and may have included the not yet released .378 and more safari's followed after Buhmiller started necking up the .378 case to .458.
All before my time of course, but the Weatherby story is really the modern magnum story as the cartridges were designed for performance which is not the necessarily the original criteria which was more likely adequacy, useability and a catchy proprietary moniker.
No harm done all round
