To date they’re my favourite hunting projectile. When I had a 7x57 I used them on animals up to sambar deer size with great effect.

That is an exquisite little rifle migrabill! I wish you many very successful hunts with it.

I spoke with Lance Hendershot today. The order has been changed from Swift A-Frame 160's to Norma Oryx 156's. Got 5 boxes coming!

Beautiful piece of wood and very nice iron. You should have a blast in Africa. The 7x57 is more than adequate for any plains game there.

And the .275 Rigby even better.

Only when it's "Royal Game "...

Should last you about an hour....it's like shooting a .22lr....very easy to get carried away messing around :E Big Grin:

“Excellent choice, sir.” (Works for fancy restaurants and fancy guns.) The .275 shoots like a laser beam. Have the exact same gun and can’t take my eyes off of it!
