Are the two chamber dimensions identical or are there slight differences? Both Hornady and HDS are listing brass. What are the specs? Is the brass 7mm Mauser with a different headstamp?

Read a post somewhere else about your question a month or so ago. May have been on Accurate Reloading site where this question was discussed.

Basically, the 7x57 mauser and 275 Rigby are the same cartridge. But early dimension data on the two cartridges did have a very minor difference....what I do not recall.

Ingwe shoots Rigby headstamps when he's wearing tweed and drinking tea with his pinky up. Otherwise, he's shooting stuff with the 7x57 headstamp.

(See 4/4/14 discussion in the 7x57 v 7-08 thread)

Ingwe likes the color on the "plastic bullets",it matches his tweed jacket.

Some countries have strict and silly laws and will jail one for having ammo with the wrong headstamp, in that it does not match the gun on your permit or is a current or past military cartridge.

Not long ago I bought some of the 275 Rigby brass and could find no difference to speak of compared to some Remington unfired.

Figured I needed to good reason to watch for a Rigby.

As to Ingwe's color matches, I can only imagine. Would probably be looking for some bleach for the eyes.

It also gives him something to marvel at when he has a slow day in the field.

If I do not trade off my really pretty and lightweight MAuser in 7x57 this weekend, I think I will get some of the Rigby marked brass and have my barrel re inscribed. AFAIK, the two rounds are just two ways of saying the same thing. Sort of like "30 Army" and 30/40 Krag which are the same cartridge.

Thanks for the heads up on this brass availability!

I also have a BRNO ZKK 600 continental Mauser that will in all liklihood be re bored from 30/06 to 9.3x62. If I ever get back to Africa, how cool to have a trio of nice Mausers in 275 Rigby, 9.3x62 and 416 Rigby!

Could be. But maybe he has a smartphone now. There was a young man at camp yesterday who, while sitting in a stand waiting for pigs, was watching youtube videos of someone hunting pigs. Lord, what did we do before the invention of smartphones and the internet?

Keep the Mauser and take the trio to Africa again.

Tough crowd.

You'll sing a different tune when I lay a wider path of destruction through the Texas wildlife with my 7x57 than Sherman laid through Georgia with his troops�

I wouldn't have a .275 Rigby, unless in an original Rigby gun. The 7x57 is a good cartridge, though.
