The barrel slugs 0.349/0.358" 6R rifling
The 9X57 ammo I bought from Buffalo Arms has 0.356 bullets. I'll be able to reload it with U.S. 35 caliber bullets. They used 35 Whelen cases, shortened. I use 8X57 PPU brass. Once through the sizing die (& expander ball) and, presto, I have 9X57 cases (with a misleading headstamp).
I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
