Rigby 275 Ammunition

I am looking for some Rigby 275 ammunition, maybe by Kynoch. I was told by someone on forum about a gun shop that might have some on hand, but I am not clever enough to find that info here. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks!

do you need the 275 headstamp? otherwise its just the 7x57 with a different name

At 4 bucks per you can try this 5-pack. Maybe they can get Rigby 275 as well.

Hope everyone is doing well. Stay away from that ice! Couldn't afford HSC this year.

I'd try Collector's first. They're at the yachts and caviar end of things. (Almost said doubles too -- heh, heh.)

Betcha Bob knows.

I'm with Butch. Unless you simply desire the panache of the headstamp, why not get regular 7x57 ("7mm Mauser") ammunition? For that matter, the cases can easily be made from any case on the .30-06 head with a total length of 2.23" or greater.

Maybe you own an original pre-war Rigby and want a box or two to display with it...?

Chucky, I am sure, knows all this, but that wasn't the question.

If y'all will check Charles' posts you will find why he wants it -- to match up with a collector's type rifle. He's not finicky or fishing -- his dad sells double rifles.

[In case you don't I'll paste it in-

I have a Rigby .275, serial number 4732. Is any history available on this rifle, either from J. Roberts & Son or Rigby California? Do any of the rifles atributed to WDM Bell have serical numbers listed?
Thanks,

Charles Prince]

If you want some brass with any headstamp you want, get in touch with Quality Cartridge in the USA.

Quality Cartridge usually has the 275 Rigby headstamped brass in stock. I bought 200 pieces and I'm very happy with it!

I love it when Alf posts. Alf it seemed like you were gone from here for a while (but I've been sporadic myself), glad to see you back.
