Bruce,
Let's get into the cartridge minutiae again: That's the 9.3 B-S, short for the 9.3 Barsness-Sisk....
Hope all is well in Nevada,

CarlsenHighway,
I tend to find more important subjects to get worked up over, but still want to thank you--as you've provided another subject for what I hope will be a reasonably interesting historical article.
For the moment, I'm wondering why you didn't object at the same time about why the .416 Rigby is called "Rigby"--when Rigby's catalogs only called it the .416" Bore.
You might also object to the .30-30 Winchester, since Winchester called it the .30 Winchester Center Fire. Marlin came up with the .30-30 designation, apparently because they didn't want to stamp "Winchester" on any of their rifles. Of course, this was before the U.S. government urged the formation of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Association in the late 1920s, so various companies would get together to make sure ammo and firearms from various companies would be safely compatible. Mule Deer, You're welcome. You have belittled my outrage, tried to dull my blade with your .416 Rigby reference, and then throw sand in my eyes over the .44-40 and .30-30 etc. (All of which I now rebut thusly: People did refer to the .416 Rigby as the "".416 Rigby"", and Rigby did mark their rifles with the possessive "Rigby's .416 Bore." Plus all the ammo made for it was marked by Kynoch (and others) as .416 Rigby. That's my point entirely - .416 Rigby is the actual name of that cartridge. And likewise regarding the WCF cartridges - both names are valid historically.) But I get worked up over people calling the Lee-Enfield rifle an ""Enfield". Oh Goddamit. I think that's worse.

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.

"7x57 Rigby" would be an interesting variation.... I was just about to come up with that one but you beat me to it. I think seven by fifty seven sounds betterer than two seven five or two seventy five.

I'll oblige.
Don't waste enough time watching "Outdoor TV" to have adopted
catchy nicknames for everything. F'n drives me crazy, people try to
emulate the idiotic "Pros".
Every property, field, woods....has a name. Even worse is naming the freaking animals.
What was wrong with, "I saw that buck with the drop time last night"?
If I'm ever heard saying, "I saw old Droppy last night" you all can be assured I've finally
lost my [bleep] mind.

Actually, it should have been called the 284 Rigby.
