Want To Buy 275 H&H Brass

[Frederik Badenhorst]

Hi there

Looking for 275 H&H brass. I live in BC,Canada and the local Quality Cartridge agent here told me no special order items will be coming into Canada any time soon.

Hoping a member might have some he is willing to sell

Cheers

Frederik

Is that a typo ? .275 ? If not a typo, please sell me a dummy round for my cartridge collection!

Betting it’s not a typo. H&H made them. Not very common.
I hope Frederik can nail some down.

Beautiful! Duke at Gulf Breeze Firearms can likely get you some brass if you have a way to get it into Canada. Otherwise just use 7x57 brass until things calm down.

The stock pattern is remarkably similar to a Rigby. Do you know the year of manufacture?

Hi WAV

I wrote Cogswell but it seems their administration department is down due to Covid . That’s what the website says anyways

Are you sure about this? 7x57 can be used in a 275 Rigby, but isn't a 275 H&H something altogether different?

The .275 H&H was to my knowledge the first of the 2.5" short belted magnums. The .275 H&H predates the 7mm Weatherby, 7x61 Express, 7mm Remington, and the rest. The photo is of a factory .275 H&H and the other case is what a 7x57 case looks like after being fired in a .275 H&H chamber.
Sorry for the poor picture.

Think of a pre war 7 mm Remington...

I picked up a BRNO model 22 a few years back that had nothing but factory stampings on it. Somewhere along the line someone had chambered it to .275 H&H unbeknown to me. I mounted a scope and bore sighted the rifle. Since my bench is at the 100 yard mark I make a practice of walking up to around 25 yards and firing a round at my target before I move back to 100. That 7x57 slid right in from the magazine and hit dead center 2 inches low, perfect. When I got back to the bench that blown case is what ejected. Shortly after I did a chamber cast which told me it was a .275 H&H.

I wanted an example of a .275 H&H for my collection of cartridges and it was not easy to find.

If Quality Cartridge is willing to sell direct and ship to a FFL dealer in the US, you could get Prophet River to import them for you. A bit expensive and time consuming. I need to source some 425 Westley Richards and may have to go this route.

Ah my bad, you are correct. I saw .275 and immediately jumped
To Rigby.

I have a few rounds of that in my stash but dont help much, being not in Canada.

I will buy one from you for my collection!

 

[sestoppelman]

Bought these years ago thinking same as others, that it was .275 Rigby. Thinking its almost a collectable now.

Can’t you neck down and form 275HH from 375HH?

edit: can’t you neck down and form 275hh from 300hh even easier?

 

[sestoppelman]

Book says use .300 H&H. FL size in .275 die with expander removed. Trim to length and chamfer, Fireform.

RCC brass makes this. It ain’t cheap.

I know a guy who uses it in a 350 Rigby and has had good luck.

not sure about their export to Canada status but I’d give them a shout.
