Hi just to add. Once you find the windpipe before you cut it pull on it up out of the chest and run your fingers down it into the chest. This frees a lot of the sinew off. Then cut through windpipe horizontally this will take you straight to the gullet. I tie it twice with jute thread as it ties...
Apologies if I’m telling you something you already know. The 7mm mauser was copied by John Rigby in the early 1900’s and used the then favoured imperial system of naming rather than metric. Hence the .275”. If stamped 275 then likely to be an English gun. As a 7mm cartridge the 7x57/275 rigby is...
