The problem with the rotary mag Mannlichers is that they will generally only feed one bullet weight and style. A bit of fiddling with seating depth can help, but that is not always an option.
That hasn't been my experience with the many Mannlicher SHOENAUER rifles I've owned. I'm not talking about the Steyer Mannlicher, they are pushfeed, and I have no use for them at all. Every MS I've owned has fed like quick silver, no matter what bullet I used, and I only use handloads, unless I run out of ammo and have to buy factory. The way the cartridge comes out of the magazine it is already level with the chamber by the time the bolt has hold of the cartridge. In addtion the butt od the barrels on M/S rifles are funnel shaped, and guide a out of line into the chamber, As if that would ever happen on one!
How did you find a factory chambered, 275Rigby new, and still in the box?
