Thread: School me on the 7x57 mauser

Yep. A new product from the modern Kynamco company! The fantasy becomes true. Hornady now sell brass headstamped .275 Rigby, custom 7x57 rifles get marked as .275 Rigby, and the new Rigby company market it as if was always "theirs" now as well. Essentially the internet has changed history. It's quite the lesson in how people can be so wrong about the past and be absolutely certain of something with no evidence at all.

(The real Kynoch ICI company stopped manufacturing sporting cartridges in the early sixties. All the old British nitro express cartridges died overnight. Kynamco are like the new Rigby company, new people have bought the name and make the old African nitro cartridges again. (I think the only original British company still from the early period of the Empire that exists still in its original form today is Westley Richards.))


I had some original Kynoch .44-40 ammo once, and I just shot it off, like an idiot. You cant even reload the brass. I should have kept it.
