Does 275 Rigby have a tighter free bore specification ?

Is that the point of the 6.5x55 SKAN ?

I remember playing around with a couple of Lee Enfield jungle carbines in 303 British.
No Panache that I can recall. I could not achieve the sustained rate of fire that they were claimed to support.

I do recall some of the kilted highlanders having a feather thingy on their wedge cap badge.
They wielded bag pipes, though.

Enough of DixNeuf !
