Want To Buy 10.75x68 347gr Woodleighs and Bertram brass

Like title says. Have some brass, dies, and two rifles but no bullets. Let me know what you have. Thanks!

What quantities of each are you looking for?

Thanks. Up to 500 bullets depending on price and 100 brass. Thanks again.

A few have asked about the rifles. One is a commercial Mauser. (Assume it’s a Model B with upgrades, but I’d love to hear from those more knowledgeable). The other has no maker’s mark but both German and British proofed. Holds five down. Thanks everyone!

The Mauser 10.75s had the same rifling rate of twist as the 404s so you’re really not bound to the original bullet weight of the 10.75x68

That's not entirely true. There may be different caliber size by older weapons. It is therefore better to check the exact caliber of such rifles beforehand.

There is no danger by reloading, but it can affect the accuracy. Some manufacturers in Europe have produced different bullets for both cartridges.

I don’t know what country your in , but I have a beautiful 0riginal 10.75x68 for sale in Australia.
Also does, brass and original 347 grain bullets.

Very Rare and unique J.P.Sauer & Son, commercialMauser. Circa 1912. Built on a genuine J.P.Sauer & Son commercial Mauser action, not an ex military conversion. This rifle is chambered in 10.75x68 Mauser with British proof marks. This action is exceptionally smooth. The action has not been tapped or modified in any way. Barrel is in excellent condition, as is the bolt face. This rifle does not appear to have been fired. Though I have fired 16 rounds through it since owning it. Exceptionally accurate, even with open sights. Full length Mannlicher stock. Swept back spoon bolt handle. 21” inch fully ribbed octagonal barrel. Folding leaf type express sights. Double set triggers. Lever release floor plate. Ebony stock spacer. The small details in the stock work are incredible. This rifle was tastefully and authentically refurbished by Rob Bloomfield at Sunshine Coast gunsmith’s. No expense was spared, including all metalwork which was reblued in an old school rust blueing. Checkering and woodwork is perfect. Also comes with new dies, shellholder, and 100 new cases. Also several boxes of Woodleigh 347 grain RNSP, originally designed for the 10.75x68 Mauser. Absolutely beautiful and unique 98 Mauser.”​

Cutting Edge and North Fork both produce .423 diameter bullets and are currently in stock in the US.

If your rifle has enough magazine length and throat you may be able to seat bullets to the cannelure that are intended for the .404 Jeffery.

Beautiful rifles you have there!

I’m talking original Oberndorf Mausers.
I suppose there could be differing dimensions/twist rates from other builders.

I make my 10.75 bullets from spent 40S&W brass. It’s not that difficult to make usable projectiles that way.

Thanks everyone for the comments and feedback. While the same diameter and almost grain weight, I was thinking that Woodleigh may have designed the 10.75 bulletin slightly different, perhaps thinner jacket or more exposed lead for the lower velocity. Thanks again

Just FYI, Hawk Bullets makes a bunch of different weight .423 & .424 bullets, .404J and 10.75mm.

First rifle on top, is a Commercial Mauser Oberndorf Type B.

Second rifle on the bottom, is an Auguste Schuler Deluxe Mauser retailed by Manton & Co. (which explains both the German and English proof marks).

Great looking rifles. A fantastic caliber for wild boar and Asian sloth bear. While I might have hated him for his spineless betrayal towards the Asian hunting fraternity, Donald Anderson became infamous for this picture he took with this Asian sloth bear (while holding his 10.75x68mm Mauser). But his one was a cheaper guild gun built on a military surplus Mauser action (as evidenced by the military style floor plate release).

The Woodleigh Reloading Manual lists the 10.75 X 68 bullet diameter as 0.423" and the 404 Jeffery diameter as 0.422"

My edition of the Woodleigh manual lists two 0.423" diameter projectiles. The 347 grain RN SN Woodleigh has a sectional density of .281 and they recommend an impact velocity of 1800 to 2600 fps. They also list a 347 grain FMJ with an SD of .277

When buying a rifle caliber 10,75x68 or caliber 404 Jeffery, it is advisable to verify the diameter of the barrel. Most German-made rifles seem to adhere to the classic 10,45/10,75 sizing. I don't know about the British made of this caliber, but for an old French-made rifle caliber 10,75x68 which I examined, there were even changes in the chamber size. Impossible to load cartridges from RWS. By old rifles caliber 404 Jeffery, barrel diameter can vary greatly, regardless of the country of origin. Normally the barrels are standardized on the dimensions 412"/423", but there are also older rifles that have the dimensions 410"/418" and some CIP drawing reflect this. By the way, the metric German dimensions 10,45/10,75 does not quite correspond to the imperial 412"/423" dimensions either and the current CIP lists specify the dimensions 10,46/10,77 for the cartridge 404 Jeffery.

In summary, choose the right bullets for your rifle because all this was the reasons why my rifle caliber 10,75x68 delivered shot grouping between 1" and 10", depending on which bullet I tested.
