Overview

The .275 No 2 Magnum is a rimmed cartridge intended for use in double rifles. Rigby introduced the .275 No 2 Magnum by necking down the .375 Flanged Nitro Express,[2] it was still available in the early 1960s.[1] The .275 No 2 Magnum's performance is comparable to the .275 Rigby.[1]

As is common with cartridges for double rifles, due to the need to regulate the two barrels to the same point of aim, the .275 No 2 Magnum was offered in one loading, firing a 140 gr (9.1 g) bullet with a listed speed of 2,675 ft/s (815 m/s).[1]

In his African Rifles and Cartridges, John "Pondoro" Taylor rated the .275 No 2 Magnum as his favourite of all the small bore cartridges.[3]
