    9.3 X62 brass and bullet powder recommendation

    They were imported through one of the big names back in the last century. I'm thinking Speer, but I could be wrong. I've been shooting the 9.3x62 for about 30 years now, and memory isn't the best. I imported a bunch from Frankonia back in the day, but they are long gone.

    9.3 X62 brass and bullet powder recommendation

    I'm covered for the rest of the foreseeable future. Brass is either Norma or RWS. The DWM Brenneke bullets are the 293gr TUG.

    .35 Whelen & CFE223 - magnum or standard primer?

    The military uses magnum primers with ball powder. Double based powders are difficult to ignite in cold temperatures.

    9.3 X62 brass and bullet powder recommendation

    Haven't really tested them for accuracy. 20 grains of 4759 is a reduced load. I'm hitting a 12" steel plate at 100 yards, offhand from a 20" barrel. Not the best test protocol for bullet accuracy, but it's inexpensive and easy on the shoulder.

    9.3 X62 brass and bullet powder recommendation

    Recoil gets your attention with the little Sako 85 Carbine, so my plinking load is a Lapua 185gr bullet over 20 grains of IMR 4759 in Norma brass. Great for offhand practice on steel, with irons or scope.

    Info on Mannlicher Schoenauer carbine

    You can quickly and easily tell the difference between a military and commercial action by simply looking at the right side of the receiver, just behind the bolt handle. Military receivers do not have the bolt lock.

    Wanted Mini Express Rear Sight Insert

    Original factory Mausers and Mannlicher Schoenauers had vertical blades. Mausers usually had a folding blade in front and in the rear. MS just one that folded forward. Some rifles going to the British market had slanted, multi leaf Express sights. Some post war FN and Sako rifles had the...

    Wanted Mini Express Rear Sight Insert

    It is apples to apples. ERA/Recknagel uses the same 16mm 30 degree dovetail for all their small sights. The vertical blade is European style, as used on Mausers and Mannlichers. The slanted blade is British style. This one came from Mark at NECG in the last century. Haven't seen it in the...
