Worked up a load for @AZ KJ and his M70 in .375H&H. I had only partially worked these before in my rifle, but my last notes said 75-76gr of IMR4350. After a couple of not great grouping but okay (1.25-1.5" @ 100yards), I checked the action screws on the rifle. Both, but particularly the rear needed tightening.

Voila.....these are seated to SAAMI length of 3.6". Upper image is at 75.5gr and the lower at 76gr of powder.

Note: Both of these images need to be rotated 90 degrees clock wise. Little help @BRICKBURN please?

Looking good!

Velocity?
 
Didn’t chrono yet. I’d guess 2550 +/-. What I’ve found with the North Forks is they’ll give similar velocity as other bullets with a few grains less of the same powder. My 78gr load for 300gr A-Frames runs 2550fps.
 
Winner!
 
Looks like a winner to me! Nice shootin’

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
