9.3x62

Well after several unsuccessful attempts to download my rifle pics, my post will no longer allow me to "edit" my content. :(

Any workarounds?
 
If you’re going to rebarrel a rifle, any 30/06 or 270 action will work. May as well start with a good modern action.
Maybe you could get a 9.3x57 rechambered, but not sure how long those actions are.
I’ve done about a dozen rechamberings mostly Husqvarna rifles that were 9.3x57.. Seems to be less problematic with a 98 action vs a 96. Here in Canada lots of 62’s as well as 57’s on 96 actions almost all are Huskies I have three in shop for sale currently

Just make another post with pictures. I’ve had to do it a time or two myself.
 
Well I joined the club today....

This is one of the new special edition Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan from Lipsey's. The fit and finish were excellent right out of the box. Trigger pull was extremely clean and crisp. Everything I need for a daily walking around anti-grizzly rifle.

Pic soon...



It fits me like a charm, and the sights are perfectly aligned every time I mount that rifle. Ammo is on the way.

Finally got my pictures to load...

Wow…I loaded 62 grains of Big Game powder with 270 grain Speer bullets and just finished shooting. All three shots at 100 yards almost in the same hole. I am not that good a shot…all rifle and this custom load. I have found what the rifle likes traveling at 2417 FPS at only 48,000 PSI
 
RB, I have found Big Game powder, coupled with a drop tube, when reloading, to be a game changer with the 9.3x62 loads. I got very similar results! That cartridge is absolutely addicting in its versatility and lack of recoil. Happy for you!

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
