Great hunt in one of the truly special places of this world! Hope you were able to take some meat home!

The Sauer 80/90 was quite popular in Germany in the 1980s/90s, so your best sources for replacement stocks are there. They also avoid the known weak spot for breakage at the pistol grip. Quick list: https://www.schaefterei-odenwald.de/schaft.php?typ=1 https://schaftwerk.de/#schaefte

they are all part of the Blaser/Sauer/Mauser consortium, so I guess you could call using Mauser actions "in house"

Aware, but this is not the 8x 64IS, It is called the Mazon to avoid confusion. There was a thread here about someone having the reamer and loaning it to another group member. this is the class of the 8 rem mag/8x68 or a 375 Ruger necked down.

7x64/8x64/8-06 are one case family, 9x64 is an entirely different breed. if taking 200 grainers such as partition or Accubond as reference: The DEVA load book gives the 8x64 about 200 fps extra speed over the 8x57, the 8x68 is pretty much has another 200 fps advantage, In the 8x64 with modern...

I have two guns in 9.3 x375 Ruger or 9.3 CANADIAN for the past 10 years, it's an excellent wildcat and was born out of my frustration with getting 9.3 x 64 brass. Replicates and slightly better what the 9.3 x 64 does I get 2740 FPS with 286 grainers such as Northfork CUP, Lapua Mega, Privi, ...

epic fishing up there and the runs are great this year!

Barnes gives load data to 51k PSI as per SAAMI, Vihtavuori lists modern Data for 6.5x55 SKAN/ SE for 380 KPA which is about the 55.000 PSI that you are looking for. Slow powders is what you want RL 26/Magnum/ MRP or N550/555/560.

you are aware that GSC in SA shut down in 2019 and in the US in 2020? the SA business part was signed over to the brothers Landmann and may still exist

This is exactly why I had a fixed 6X Leupold on my toss-in the canoe gun. Less parts to fail.

8x57 day: 130 gr OK+ at 3150 fps then 160 gr TTSX at 2920 fps Woodleigh 220gr RN at 2450 fps

I have 100 rounds of ADG in 300 PRC ( to make into 9.3 wildcat), I know it's been written that it's thicker walled but at the same trim length it actually is 10 gr lighter than Hornady brass. Just wondering where the material would come from to make the wall thicker

I think it was BCTAL, he is in Canada
