This should be on a T shirt....
I forgot to mention, the .275 Rigby is far superior to the 7X57 Mauser......

Being the old hard-headed fart that I am I can't help but wonder if anyone else's opinion of which caliber, round, etc. is superior has ever made you change your choice of what you are or will be shooting.
Over the years I’ve learned a lot from good people I disagreed with. Over those same years, I’ve become an expert at not worrying about people raining on my parade without good reason. There’s a right way and a wrong way for almost everything.

I have a 303 savage that everybody thinks is trash
It is very accurate and hits hard enough for deer
It’s in a prewar 99 it has the obligatory crack in the stock and is smooth and fast ,quick to the shoulder
When I was in my 20s, I outshot a buddy that had a scoped 308 Winchester he was mad because he KNEW his gun was better than mine

I try hard.
Not only that, but the .275 Rigby (1907) is a newer cartridge than the old 7x57 (1892), which some folks reckon would alone make it a better cartridge.

“ I mean, after all, in 1953, Bella Twin, a 63-year old Cree woman, killed a grizzly with a .22 LR. So that must emphatically prove that the .22 LR is a viable bear cartridge, right?”
She was most likely highly motivated at that moment.

I can sure see the OP's point, but bottom line...it's simply human nature to feel that whatever you happen have is the best and whatever the other poor slob has is sub-par. It doesn't matter if it's makes of pickup trucks (i.e. Ford vs. Dodge vs. Chevy) or brand of lawnmowers (Honda vs. John Deere vs. Toro) or handgun calibers, we all like to think we're smarter than the next guy and thereby make wiser choices.
It doesn't matter if our opinion has any validity or not, we like to think we're right. Thus, I'm afraid the caliber opinions are here to stay.

Actually it was a .22 Long.
She was saving her LR ammo for the big stuff.
Now that right there is funny!
