The 275 Rigby is special we all know it some just don't want to accept it.. Sure it's a fine round, but call it correctly, it's .284" Depends on whether you are referring to bore or groove diameter. Think barrel specification vs. bullet diameter. I could care less about bore dimensions, the bullet is what does the job. As you wish.....your rifle is a .284

If I call my '280 Remington/06/7mm Express Ack Imp' a 270 + P, will it shoot faster or just be gay?????

I once chambered a 35 Whelen for a guy who had me stamp it 35-06 just for laughs.
Then there was the guy that thought that the 6.5-284 case would make a great 7mm.....true story.

My brother has a 284 that he makes the brass out of 6.5-284 brass. You guessed it. He calls it his 7mm-6.5-284.

.275 Rigby doesn’t bother me in the least. And while I don’t lose any sleep over it, I continually wonder why so many people misspell 6.5 Creedmoor.
Creedmore
Creedmoore
Etc. I call it the 6.5 CRUDmore. Paul B. CrudMore? is that anything to do with the NeedMoor series?

This has been a fun read. Many good points brought out and a few laughs. The .275 Rigby has king of a nice sound to it so I can see how people use that title. personally, I think 7x57 has a nicer ring to it so that's the name I use. To each his own.
On another note, A few years back I bought a rifle and the guy threw in a box with a bunch or reloading stuff for the gun. Most if the brass was well used but there was one box, red in color marked Remington and inside was 20 rounds of 7x57 brass, The headstamp was, "RP 7MM" and nothing else. Brand new brass. I never loaded it and it's part of my cartridge collection.

The English seemed reticent to use metrics. I recently picked up a Wesley Richards “Colonial Grade” 1893 Mauser sporter marked “ For .275 Mauser Cartridge”

PJ the early Winchester Model 70's made in 7x57 were stamped "7MM" and nothing else also... "7MM"= 7 Millimeter Mauser ?, or it was the only commonly available 7 in those days...

It's more expensive if it's Rigby A friend sent me this empty box for my collection. It was not cheap. The brass was all stamped "7x57" from Hornady. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/7OyQTH7l.jpg)

Mine was stamped .275 Rigby. Which is a good reason to point out that if Rigby is selling ammo labeled ".275 Rigby" then the OP's original desire to have that label no longer used is probably doomed. All I know is that I like my compact RSI with a fixed Leupold Big Bore! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/CMsWstmL/IMG-4515.jpg)

I've always thought the proper name was 7x57 and all else was marketing hyperbole or a variety of foolish colonial era snobbery. The alternative name makes some people happy, so why not let them use it. I have three 7x57's in my rack, not a .275 anywhere around here. We all know it's a 7x57 but the history has that "cool" factor going for it. Discriminating shooters know the story. Those who know are "above" the unwashed masses so to speak. As I recall Ruger put out a couple versions of the Rigby. Just look at EdM's example. That's no ordinary blaster. That's a rifle to be proud of. That is worthy of the name Rigby. Yes, technically it's misnamed. But it speaks for itself. Just saying. kwg
