If anyone in N. Idaho needs an box of 275 Rigby I've got one your welcome to. I don't want to use it in my 7x57R and I don't own a 275 Rugby.
It must be a box of the new hipster ammo. 7x57 with imaginary cachet.
That's the amazing thing about the internet. Rigby are actually now making the ammo. Hornady are selling the brass. Rigby are stamping new rifles with the chambering and people are building custom rifles and doing the same thing. It just sounds so old-world British. It never existed until the 21st century. It's like Dungeons and Dragons role playing.
The two guys most famous for using the "".275 Rigby"" are WDM Bell and Jim Corbett. Neither of their rifles had .275 Rigby stamped on them as the chambering. Neither of them ever loaded a cartridge with a .275 Rigby headstamp. Neither of them ever heard of that name. Both of them referred to the cartridge as "the .275"".
I am belabouring the point, but names are important.
