I'm trying to remember exactly where I read it but there are apparently two versions of the .275 Rigby. It all depends on how the rifle is throated. Some are throated fir the use of 140 gr. bullets and appaently you can't go with the 175 gr. bullets in that one. The other is throated for the 175 gr. bullets as are most 7x57 rifles. For all I know, the barrels may also have a different twist rate as well. I'm thinking it might be John Taylor's book on African Rifles and Cartridges that had the info. I'll see if I can look it up when I get time.

Kaff....I have shot a .275 Rigby.....AI. In a Ruger #1. I've no doubt it could kill a huge dinosaur. Or even butt shoot a bear.
I am..........disturbed.

Ah, but if you used a 7x57 it would not only kill the game with authority and most emphatically, women would swoon at the mere sight of you and men would buy you drinks just to wallow in your glory, you would also...! Wait a minute...it's DD...forget about what I said, you already have all that.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Good to see someone out there knows the burden I bear.

We'd have to see what Ingwewife has to say.
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

You ought to pick up the "tweener" between the .257 and .275: the 6.5x57. You'd probably have the only one in Montana (isn't that where you live?).

RevMike,
No, it would not be the only 6.5x57 in Montana. I have a friend who lives near Bozeman who has one, and I have a drilling with a 6.5x57R rifle barrel (and of course two 16-gauge shotgun barrels).
But Ingwe could be the first in Montana to own a 6.5x57 with a leopard-print McMillan stock.
