Does anyone have an experience with this round?
I purchased this box of old Kynoch ammunition at a gun show recently for the princely sum of $2, purely out of curiosity. Despite being a self confessed caliber nerd I had never heard of or even seen a rifle in 275 magnum.
From what I have been able to find it’s simply a 375 H&H case necked down to .287 developed by H&H in 1912. It’s interesting that this round was a commercial failure given it’s similar to many of today’s popular new calibers in this class. Just ahead of its time I guess.
