Re: The .275 Rigby is a Fantasy Cartridge

So please explain what the difference is between the 275 Rigby and the 7x57 Mauser?
Case wise, dimensionally, there is no difference.
Brass, dies, etc. - all the same.
The “Rigby” moniker is derived from their specific loading of the same cartridge.
The 275 Rigby was loaded with a lighter bullet and higher velocity than the standard 7X57 Mauser.
What was it, 140gr. Bullet for the Rigby and 170 something for the standard Mauser cartridge?
