Just as a point of information, Rigby use a 1:8.67 inches (1:22 centimeters) twist rate on the .275 Rigby Highland Stalker. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

It was, 220mm, to stabilize the long 173 grain round nose bullet used in the 1893 Mauser. The 7x57 was a Mauser development; the 8mm, wasn't. So when we now use a 9 inch twist, that will stabilize anything because most of use do not use long FMJ round noses any more. | |||
