matchking Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Ruag import both norma and RWS brass. Both should be o.k i would go for RWS as i have had some issues with missfires with norma brass. I would also look at a different powder than varget at the moment as it is like rocking horse poo.

londonhunter Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thanks Rocking horse poo --- Hmmmm that's a new one for me Anybody selling gear for this caliber ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Dies are cheap enough new RCBS, Dillon, Forster and Redding all make neck and FL for this calibre. Bullets are readily available. Ive just picked up some once fired RWS 7/57 for little money and it is perfect. Im making a 275 Rigby for myself which will be ready in a few weeks..

Elwood Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 RWS 7x57 brass is superb. You will however have to slightly modify the shell holder with a dremel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finman Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 No need to modify the shell holder, just get the #3 size and it works perfectly. That way you still have the #2 for the other brands of brass Best wishes Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I guess Alan will be using a 275 reamer, why not ask him to make you dies as well instead of using 7/57 dies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonhunter Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Sorry perhaps Alan will chime in I bought as a starter an old Churchill 275 Rigby He is rebuilding it to London best standard It's also going to be a stutzen and the barrel has been reduced to 20 inches and it shoots tight on factory ammo So that's the starting point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Sounds lovely, although I'm not a fan of Stutzen's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
