Hi Kevin, I would not use cases reloaded 3 times, any brand, for ANY serious hunt! The ideal is the first reload with a case fired once, starting with factory or virgin cases, in YOUR RIFLE, carefully inspected, trimmed, and full sized without shortening to much, only for easy loading, with a...

Hi One Day, "The 9.3x64 case is significantly fatter (in fact a precursor of the beltless magnum) and the best way to compare the two rounds is to look at case capacity. The 9.3x62 has a case capacity of approximately 68 grains of water, and the 9.3x64 has a case capacity of approximately 88...

Hello grand veneur, Agree with you, specially in the velocity difference between the 9,3x62 and 375 H&H with comparable bullet weights. There are at least 200 f/s. To me it is a significant difference for medium-long range hunting. CF

Hi 50Gunner, This is my scope sight seting for ALL my big game rifles and hunting grounds: 7x57, 30-06, 9,3x62 and 375 H&H. CF

Thank you 50Gunner Hope the rifle will performs at your expectations ! Good luck! CF

Hi Sako Safari, "Some bolts are just too smooth and one cannot get a good grip on it..that is why we checker our bolts" Bolt knobs are not to be griped!!! Just to add to open and close, smothly, de bolt!!! Any interference with this, as to checker the knob, does not contributes to it in any...

Hi Antho, Very good experience about same cartridge/different barrel lenght. Of course, in my opinion, it should be considered valid only for this case. The differences between 9,3x62 vs 9,3x64 vs 375 H&H (must be said again: "all other factors being the same"), are simple physics or...

Hi 50Gunner, Can you post some pictures of your rifle? Thank you! CF

Hi Beck, The 9,3x64 looks more powerful than the 375 only in printed ballistics: is a cartridge standarized with 65 cm barrel lenght and high pressures. Its case capacity is right at the middle between 9,3x62 and 375 H&H so, being all other factors the same, its velocity! In MY experience the...

Hi pjaln, Nice Rigbys!! I would like to know if you have measured the chamber throath lenght in the HV one that have a barrel not original, or if you have tried to chamber a cartridge with heavy round nose 170 plus grs. Thank you!! CF

Hi Rstien, Agree!

Agree rifletuner. In general, is much better, more versatile, a little too fast than a little too slow rifling twist. CF

Hi yuma, No! 9.4 to 10 are better than the original 11,5 twist. Good luck! CF

As I said before, I have used, since 1972, almost all kind of bullets in my two 7x57 rifles. Today, to speak about "bullet weight", alone, is not like yesterday's considerations. My favorite bullets for all my rifles have been the Nosler Partition. Still they are! In the 7x57, for big game...

I have and use the great since 1972, my only BG rifle for 20 years. I reloded for it since the start. I used almos all 7 mm bullets available. Lately I tried the LRX 145 grs. In my M98 Mauser with a CIP specificated barrel, I can load it at 2900 f/s, at entirely safe presure, with an OAL a lot...
