But those are both imatation 7mm they are of course otherwise known as 7x57mm so are not real 7mm.the mighty .277 is closer when you measure the projectiles.

If you can call the 7x57 a 275 Rigby
I can call the 7x57R a 275 Rigby Flanged

Anyway this is a post about the modern 270 which isn't even 100 years old yet
You don't want to see my old junk rifles

I just love the way those slope four shouldered cases feed so slickly from a R700 magazine. And how far out you can seat the pills out in a R700 magazine creating room for so much powder. Cos I quite like to burn powder and paying a bit more for a good pill doesn't worry me, it's my favorite hobby. And lastly when it shoot and hunt with my .270 it doesn't make me feel cheap and dirty like when i shoot my .223!

Calling a 7X57 a .275 Rigby is like calling a Vauxhall Viva GT a " Sports Car".

Greetings,
I thought it might be a 7x57R and you were winding us up. Will look forward to the continuing story. Not junk to me.

I also am in possession of a "275 Rigby flanged" as you say. Although I call it a 7x57R so as not to appear pretentious🙂.

Come on Gibo. If you say you shoot a 30 cal, it could be anything. If you say you shoot a 270, its only going to be one.

MY brother has a lee enfeild in that case and calibre. Whats the correct name for that particular one?

I have nothing against the 270. Have never owned one, but have mates that do and they get their fair share of animals.

My main rifle is in 308 and the cartridge itself has never let me down. I will be sticking with that.
