Well said, and a good point on the .275 Rigby/7x57 round.I have always loved this round and in my ZKK Brno and my .275 Rigby I have used Finn Aagaards favorite load of 49/50 grains 4350 in a 140 Nosler. In both rifles it clocks in at 2,925 fps and I have used this load in 120 degree heat with no issues. My 173 Lapua factory loads are also quite devastating at 2,600 fps.In a modern rifle this moves along quite nicely and because of superior B.C. penetrates like a dream .I remember Finn Aagaards penetration tests and the 7x57 beat even the 416 Rigby .No wonder Bell and Corbett used it extensively

Having been reading Bell again recently, a .275 Rigby/7x57 sounds like a wonderful rifle. Capable of anything. Bell really was a master salesman in his confidence and writings about the rifle and cartridge. I want one now again.
