The 173-grain round nosed bullets need a longer throat than the concise 140- and 150-grain spitzer bullets require, so the H.V. throat was shortened to deliver the best accuracy with the lighter bullets. If you have a H.V. chamber, you will find that the 173-grain bullets won’t chamber in your rifle (or at least shouldn’t, if the chamber was cut properly).

Not all .275 Rigby chambers are of the High Velocity variant, but if you are shopping for a .275, be sure and verify which chambering it is. I

The throat differences, true or not?

People complain about Philip but which other gun writer uses a 7x57, .318 WR, and a .404.

I'd rather have a 7x57 article than another Creedmoor article sprouting BS. BTW the 6.5x55 is better.

I enjoy reading his hunting exploits..he gets around..

An issue I have is magazines like OUTDOOR LIFE.. Every article is "THE BEST OF ..pick a topic" .. I called bullshit to one last night ..The crew at OL didnt seem to appreciate my sentiments.. Thin skinned little school girls they appear to be.. gve them other examples.. and stated it would be more accurate if it stated "BEST OF ..IN MY OPINION..."

Dang, there goes another FB friend..

All pre-WW2 .275 Rigby rifles were first proofed at the Oberndorf proofhouse as 7x57. So their chambers conformed to he now CIP standard for that cartridge. But when Paul Roberts registered “his” .275 H.V. Rigby with the CIP in 1984, he reinvented the cartridge and supplied a different data table. So now CIP has two different data sets for both otherwise interchangeable cartridges. While a minimum 7x57 barrel still has to have a throat length of 19.20 mm, a .275 H.V. Rigby chamber may have a smuch shorter throat of just 5.65 mm. On the other hand, the 7x57 maximum pressure is still 3900 bar, while a .275 H.V. Rigby is assigned a 18% lower maximum pressure, just 3200 bar. So, if you shoot 7x57 loads in a .275 H.V. Rigby rifle, the rifle is legally out of proof. Mr.Roberts and Mr. Little made the same blunder when they redesigned the established 12.7x70 Schueler, the old .500 Jeffery, with a different shoulder and created their “New .500 Jeffery”.

Phil is a good guy. I think it must be churning out all these continual articles some of these online mags need to sell stuff.

"The Best of ...."

A lot of net stuff is generating activity. Often the most vigorous is negative arguments. Getting people annoyed at stupid comments, illogical statements, incorrect "facts" etc.

"The .45/70 lever action guide gun is the best buffalo rifle" and the multiple a r trolls made arab reloading huge.

Outright arguments, swearing, insults.

The threads with multiple pages are usually arguments.

A good hunt story barely a few replies. Poor show after the poster put in a lot of effort.

Arab reloading, all the immature swearing arguments and personal attacks. While good factual discussions, polite interchanges etc meant NE stayed small. But I prefer small to idiot! It gets very annoying on farcebook sometimes ...

Ranting again!

Online magazines almost certainly get more traffic if using controversy.

But if they start believing their own BS that is a bit sad. Maybe it was advertising.

The Nitro Express cartridges and rifles have never been surpassed since 1920 and no rifle and cartridge since has been better. Absolutely truth.

It would be quite easy to write an article clearly proving this.

Well if you are using a hopeless new cartridge, probably you might feel foolish?
