   The operator you flew in with still does AATH in the area around makarora too, so even the good guys in the industry are shooting our game species. Alpine helicopters are another story though......

   Yep. A new product from the modern Kynamco company! The fantasy becomes true. Hornady now sell brass headstamped .275 Rigby, custom 7x57 rifles get marked as .275 Rigby, and the new Rigby company...

   They sold their "high velocity" 7mm sporting rifles with the sights regulated for their specific brand of HV 140 grain ammunition, and you were supposed to only buy that. You will see it often...

   American gun writers always try and explain it and get it wrong, simply because they never called it a .275" in their country. The truth is that the 7x57 was just commonly known as the .275 in the...

    it's a very good cartridge to have. With a good rifle design (like a Mauser 98 or any modern action type) with a 24 inch barrel you can load the 140 grain bullet up to 2950-3000 fps and the 160 grain...
