Just ordered a couple hundred 165gr BT’s and Solid Base seconds to try in a rifle I am currently having rebarreled to 308. Will try and find a good load with some fresh Varget I recently picked up.
I usually slice and batter fry the breast then throw the rest into a crock pot until it falls off the bone then I use my favorite chicken tortilla soup recipe . Quite tasty.
I too like the 6.5x55 and the 7x57. Both have preformed well for me with 139gr bullets and if we are talking European the 275 Rigby just sounds cool. I got one in a 77 RSI because the guy said it was to pretty to shoot so I got it and promptly shot it.

My brain kept coming back to this thread last night when I couldn’t sleep. I realised I have quite a few more unfired rifles in the safe including a beautiful #1 B in 6.5 Creed. I...
