the 7x57 Mauser is what i call 7 Mauser,
the 30-06 Springfield is what i call ought six.
the 7mm-08 is what i call 7-08.
the 257 Roberts is what i call 257 Bob or Bob.

My modern production Mauser is marked 7x57 Being a Mauser made rifle, this would make perfect sense. Stamped "7mm Mauser" would be correct as well.

Winchester m70's are stamped with both names. 7x57 and 7mm mauser. I do have Hornady 275 rigby brass I'll load up and eventually shoot through the 7x57's

People do that cause they are English rifle snobs. They seem to forget that we kicked the English out of our country in 1776. Since most, if not all of the Rigby bolt action DGRs are based on Mauser actions, it seems like calling it the 7mm Mauser would be higher praise.

I'd rather pay homage to the English than the Germans. YMMV.

Have owned quite a few 7x57s, and a couple of .275 Rigbys. I usually call them what they're marked.

They could be lumped together and called, "The perfect cartridge".
