That Rigby Birthday Cake wouldn't have won any beauty contests, but in the context of a hunt-camp desert it hit the spot.
Needed room in the esky for buffalo backstraps...

Mark and Ian knocked over four buffs for the week, mostly meat animals, while my .400 Jeffery retained clean barrels.
Unsurprisingly, none fell to the .275 Rigby!

Barry: There's a back-story to the 140gr .275 Protected Points! I had none and couldn't get any locally, the gen being that .30-cals had only just started arriving consistently in Darwin and the .275s were not yet available but expected soon. Luckily Mark had a couple dozen spare from before the fire, so sent them on ahead. They arrived in my PO Box with only a day to spare!
I believe Mark has spoken to Shirley recently about 7mm/.275 production and may elaborate.
